Background information
This survey is a project of the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH)
Action Group; an initiative of the NSW Branches of the Public Health
Association of Australia (PHAA) and the Australian Health Promotion
Association (AHPA), and the Council of Social Services of New South
Wales (NCOSS).
The reason for this survey is to identify an Australian set of social
determinants of health priorities. Based on the survey data, the SDoH
Action Group plans to draw up an Australian Charter on the social
determinants of health as Canada has done (Strengthening the Social
Determinants of Health: The Toronto Charter for a Healthy Canada.
February, 2003.
<http://www.atkinson.yorku.ca/SHPM/torontoCharter1.pdf>). Our goal is to
have these priorities ratified at the 'Population Health Congress 2008'
being planned to be held in July 2008 in Brisbane.
The purpose of an Australian Charter is to gain consensus from a very
wide range of people on the top ten social determinants of health from
an Australian perspective. This information will then be used to develop
an action plan to influence those determinants; to inform the media and
the public of the social determinants of health and their influence on
the health of individuals and communities; and as a tool to advocate for
better, healthier public policies.
In order to establish consensus on the most important social
determinants of health from an Australian perspective, we have
identified a list of the social determinants of health. This list has
been compiled from the international and local literature, and from
consultation with participants at the AHPA and PHAA conferences in 2006.
It is important to note that we have focused on
determinants of health not specific population groups such as refugees,
Aboriginal status, or low socioeconomic groups.
In this on-line survey we ask you to identify what you consider to be
the ten most important social determinants of health.
