A Conceptual Framework for Action on the Social Determinants of Health

Published On: 13th July 2010

By: World Health Organization

This paper describes the review undertaken by the Comission on Social Determinants of Health, set up by the World Health Organization, to develop a conceptual framework on social determinants. The paper defines core values of health equity, human rights and distribution of power, before looking at previous theories such as the life course perspective that help understand the social determinants of health. It then provides the conceptual framework CSDH developed to tackle social determinants of health to improve health equity and lead to social justice.
