What is Vulnerability?
,Specific populations are at higher risk of poor health because of
socioenvironmental factors. These populations are often referred
to as being "marginalized", "high-priority", or "high-risk".
What is Structural Vulnerability?
Structural vulnerability is the likelihood of an individual or
group being at risk for "negative health outcomes because of the
interface of socioeconomic, political, and societal hierarchies of
dominance and oppression".
Examples of People who Experience Structural Vulnerabilities
- Low income people
- Homeless people
- Immigrants
- Refugees
- Aboriginal people
- Persons with disability
- Persons with stigmatized conditions (ie. People with a mental
illness, low literacy, substance misuse, LGBTQ2S+, Older

Health Inequities
Refers to the “differences in health that could be avoided if
reasonable action were taken, and therefore, these differences
are considered to be unfair and socially unjust”.
Canada is one of the healthiest countries in the world. However,
some Canadians are healthier and have more opportunities to
lead a healthy life.
, Differences in the health status of individuals and groups are
called health inequalities. These differences can be due to your
genes and the choices you make. For example, whether you
exercise or drink alcohol. However, the social determinants of
health can also have an important influence on health. For
example, Canadians with higher incomes are often healthier than
those with lower incomes.
Health inequity refers to health inequalities that are unfair or
unjust and modifiable. For example, Canadians who live in
remote or northern regions do not have the same access to
nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables as other
Canadians.

expenses of food, shelter, clothing, transportation, and medical.
