SPH 200 Unit 4 Questions and Answers Verified
100% Correct
(social) DOH Model: biological genetic components that are related to the pop'n and the
people within the pop'n
- age, sex and heredity
- Close to the individuals and can define the pop'n by defining the individual
Individual lifestyle factors
- close to the individual
- specific things each person does within the pop'n and impacts those people specifically,
depending on what they are
Social and community network
- acts largely at the individual level but growing bigger in terms of the number of people it
encompasses
- These community network interface with the DOH like housing, etc
the broader social elements
- Impact on the population as a whole
- You can't alter the air you breathe but if you move to an urban area then you are breathing
different air than you would if you were living in a rural environment. But you may have
different work or education.
(Social) DOH Model encapsulates
,how the different DOH associate with each other and the scale at which they are impacting upon
population or individuals,
- with there being stronger individual determinants in the center and broader pop'n level impacts
happening at the outer layer
There are a number of different ways the DOH are
attempted to be captured and different visuals
- Any health outcome could be impacted or be impacting the DOH and vice versa
Occupational class and life expectancy in England and Wales, 1997-1999
Regardless of the male or female, if you are down at the bottom of occupational class (unskilled
manual labor) you have lower life expectancy and as you go higher in occupational class your
life expectancy increases
Occupational class
Metric for income and social status
numerous transitions that occur throughout life
Early childhood
Education
Starting work
Starting family
Changing jobs
Facing skill phase out
Retirement
, •Each of these transitions can influence health by moving someone to a more or less advantaged
path
Those disadvantaged in the past face greater likelihood of
continuing on the pathways leading to continued disadvantage
- Those working in the unskilled labor for example
- Could translate down to children, as your children in their early childhood and early education
start off in the disadvantaged path
Good health policy aims to assist
those disadvantaged
- Solution to the troubles people are facing in the DOH
- Public policy that helps people out of the unskilled manual labor category and into partly
skilled labor category by encouraging education or making education more accessible, are
examples of good health policy that bring people up into more advantaged paths
Canada is no different: Life expectancy based on neighborhood
Poorest category has lower life expectancy in the males and females than the richest category
L- ess marked in females than males
Comparison of healthcare spending as a % of GDP
Canada is one of the biggest spenders on health care per capita in the world
Income and social status (economic status)
As income inequality increases (gini coefficient increases), we are reducing life expectancy
- As we increase the disparity in terms of how much the poorest and richest make
