- To use evidence on addressing racism in social care intervention research to create a framework for advancing health equity for all populations with marginalized social identities (e.g., race, gender, and sexual orientation). Such groups have disproportionate social needs (e.g., food insecurity) and negative social determinants of health (SDOH; e.g., poverty). We recommend how the Agency for…November 2023Social Environment, Racism
- The diversity of religion within our world's population brings challenges for health care providers and systems to deliver culturally competent medical care. Cultural competence is the ability of health providers and organizations to deliver health care services that meet the cultural, social, and religious needs of patients and their families. Culturally competent care can improve patient…November 2022Services & Programs, Social Environment

- Socio-economic inequalities in a wide range of health outcomes are pervasive and enduring. Most often, the association between socio-economic indicators and health is inversely graded (commonly known as social gradients in health) so that the higher the socio-economic position (SEP), the lower is the rate of morbidity and mortality. SEP is a broad concept capturing resource- and prestige-based…April 2022Early Childhood Education, Social Environment
- Systemic and structural racism: Definitions, examples, health damages, and approaches to dismantlingRacism is not always conscious, explicit, or readily visible—often it is systemic and structural. Systemic and structural racism are forms of racism that are pervasively and deeply embedded in systems, laws, written or unwritten policies, and entrenched practices and beliefs that produce, condone, and perpetuate widespread unfair treatment and oppression of people of color, with adverse health…February 2022Policy and Practice, Systemic Determinants, Racism
- This article analyses the impact of comprehensive education on health inequalities. Given that education is an important social determinant of health, it is hypothesised that a more equitable comprehensive system could reduce health inequalities in adulthood. To test this hypothesis, we exploited the change from a largely selective to a largely comprehensive system that occurred in the UK from…September 2021Early Childhood Education, Postsecondary Education, Social Environment
- Despite a number of important global public health successes, for many health behaviours there is a continued lack of interventions that have been sufficiently scaled up to achieve system-wide integration. This has limited sustainable and equitable population health improvement. Systems change plays a major role in the relation between implementation processes and at-scale institutionalisation of…March 2021Social/Structural Determinants, Systemic Determinants
- Background: The global policy discourse on sustainability and health has called for dietary transformations that require diverse, concerted actions from governments and institutions. In this article, we highlight the need to examine sociocultural influences on food practices as precursors to food policy decisions. Discussion: Sociocultural food practices relate to ideas and materials that give…December 2020Chronic Disease, Social Environment
- Climate change has altered global to local weather patterns and increased sea levels, and it will continue to do so. Average temperatures, precipitation amounts, and other variables such as humidity levels are all rising. In addition, weather variability is increasing, causing, for example, a greater number of heat waves, many of which are more intense and last longer, and more floods and…December 2020Climate Change
