Editorials

Equity and the social determinants of health
Fran Baum and Liz Harris

"..The extent to which the health sector can lead or value-add
to the work of other sectors on these issues will require change
in priorities and practice. The lessons from history would
suggest that this change will take time, be contested, and
require change in the ways in which we all think about what we
are doing. In the short term, this may involve lobbying for a
specific proportion of health budgets to be allocated to
prevention and early intervention, bi-annual reporting of
progress against an agreed set of cross-sector social indicators
for health and well-being, and open debates on the values upon
which we want our society to be built. In the longer term,
health promoters need to be advocates and implementers of
policies that will create a fair and just society where
opportunities for health are equitably distributed..."
