Book Launch: The Social Determinants of Health in Manitoba

A health and social policy book with a Manitoba focus

THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN MANITOBA

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives Manitoba is pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of the book titled:  The Social Determinants of Health in Manitoba.  This book examines the social and economic conditions that contribute to health inequities in our province.  The purpose of this book is to make the social determinants of health approach better known to Manitobans.

We look at a range of social determinants, examine their status in Manitoba, and consider the kinds of policies that could be implemented to improve health outcomes.  In addition to contributions from local experts, we include a chapter by Dennis Raphael, the author of several publications on the social determinants of health in Canada.
