The World Health Organization (WHO) describes the social determinants of health as the circumstances in which people are born, grow up, live, work and age, as well as the systems put in place to deal with illness. Those circumstances are in turn shaped by a wider set of forces: economics, social policies, and politics (WHO, 2012).
How is the social determinant approach used in Healthy People 2020 to combat tobacco use, obesity, and physical inactivity – three of the leading contributors to morbidity and mortality in America?
What are the major challenges faced in addressing these health problems?
What then should be the most important areas of focus for public health professionals as they strive to improve the health of Americans in the next decade?
