Dennis Raphael’s *Social Determinants of Health*, 4th Edition, offers a comprehensive Canadian perspective on the key social and economic factors shaping the health of the nation. Featuring contributions from leading Canadian scholars, this textbook examines structural inequalities and their impact on health through a public policy lens, addressing issues such as income, education, employment, housing, food security, gender, and race.
The updated edition incorporates the latest data and developments, including early childhood education, Canada’s new national childcare system, and insights into Indigenous health. It highlights the effects of economic globalization and neoliberal policies on health outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical role of social determinants, revealing heightened illness and mortality among vulnerable populations like low-income individuals, racialized immigrants, and those facing housing and food insecurity. This edition calls for urgent recognition of these socio-economic factors in shaping health in the post-pandemic era.
Ideal for university and college courses in health studies, nursing, allied health, sociology, and human services, this edition is available as a PDF eBook (no access codes included).
