Social Determinants of Health REPORT CARD Updates July 2010
<p>The ultimate purpose of the research was to bring information and people together to strengthen the community's overall health. The advisory group described the project in the following way:"The health of a community is influenced by a wide range of factors, many of which lie outside traditional definitions of "physical and mental health". These factors, known as the social determinants of health, are the economic and social conditions under which people live that determine their health.</p>
The purpose of this report card is to provide some information on how the region is doing on the social determinants of health indicators and how these results compare to Ontario data. This research process also involved a survey of health and social service professionals in the region.
