Document Summary
Make sure that you can identify 5 social determinants of health and explain them in a brief and specific manner, showing that you understand why they are relevant. Economic, public life, social production and denial of social goods for the excluded groups: marginalization of people of resources. Less access to health and public services: they lack power. Economic exclusion - lack of participation in economic production. Social exclusion - lack of social resources for social participation: cultural capital could be essential in social and economic participation. Lack of employment is associated with physical and mental health problems that include depression, anxiety and increased suicide rates: high stress jobs make people more vulnerable to chronic diseases, high demands and low control leads to stress. Education: people with higher levels of education tend to be healthier than those with lower educational attainment, helps people to move up the socio-economic ladder, gives people power and agency.
