This module explores the social determinants of inequalities in health concentrating on social, political and economic factors.  Health inequalities are clearly evident between high-income countries and developing economies but equally challenging are the inequalities which exist within developed economies such as in the UK.
This module examines the factors which create such inequalities in health and offers potential mechanisms to address them. Policy making depends on a thorough understanding of the issues and comprehensive data sets are interrogated to aid understanding.
