Voluntary Sector Action on the Social Determinants of Health

Voluntary Sector Action on the Social Determinants of Health
Health Foundation, New Philanthropy Capital, and Institute of Health Equity, November 2017
  • Many charities pursue social and economic outcomes that impact on health outcomes, but relatively few articulate their work in terms of its relevance to health and health inequalities. 
  • There is a wide range of evidence demonstrating either robust associations, correlations, causal links, or significant relationships between social determinants and health outcomes. This report aims to provide the most relevant evidence to enable the voluntary sector to expand and develop its action on the social determinants of health.
