Abstract

Despite advances in the delivery of high-quality cancer care and improvements in patient outcomes in recent years, disparities in cancer incidence, care, and patient outcomes persist. To examine opportunities to improve health equity across the cancer care continuum, the National Cancer Policy Forum and the Roundtable on the Promotion of Health Equity hosted a public workshop, Promoting Health Equity in Cancer Care, on October 25 and October 26, 2021.This virtual workshop featured presentations and panel discussions on topics that included: opportunities to improve equitable access to affordable, high-quality cancer care; strategies to identify and address the intersectionality of structural racism and implicit bias in cancer care delivery; the potential for quality measurement and payment mechanisms to incentivize health equity in cancer care delivery; and clinical practice data collection efforts to better assess and care for people living with and beyond cancer. This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop.

Abstract

"'Health inequalities-persistence and change in European welfare states' studies why frequencies of disease, disability, and premature mortality are higher among people with a lower socioeconomic position, even in countries with advanced welfare states. Drawing upon data from 30 countries covering more than three decades, it provides a comprehensive overview of trends and patterns of health inequalities, showing that these are not only ubiquitous and persistent, but also highly variable and dynamic. It provides a critical assessment of recent research into the explanation of health inequalities, discussing methodological pitfalls, summarizing findings from epidemiological, sociological, economic, and genetic studies, and reviewing nine overarching theories. Based on in-depth studies of the determinants of health inequalities in European countries, it shows that the persistence of health inequalities is due to a combination of mostly favourable changes in social stratification, massive but differential health improvements, and persistence of social inequality in material and non-material living conditions. It discusses why social inequality is so persistent, and whether welfare state reform could contribute to reducing health inequalities, and provides a systematic analysis of the inequitableness of health inequalities according to five theories of justice. It reviews recent attempts by European national governments to reduce health inequalities, showing that it is realistic to expect evidence-based policies to reduce absolute but not relative inequalities in health. This title is written for scientists and advanced students from various disciplines, as well as for public health professionals and policymakers, and is profusely illustrated and referenced"--

Abstract

Si la reproduction sociale par l’école a fait l’objet depuis longtemps d’importantes analyses, la reproduction sociale par la santé est très peu évoquée. Le sujet paraît même tabou tant le biomédical domine expliquant les inégalités de santé par la génétique. Récemment, en Santé publique, on ose poser la question de savoir si la construction de la santé et les inégalités réelles qui en découlent sont du ressort de la responsabilité individuelle de chacun ou déterminées par le destin social (les circonstances de la vie selon certains chercheurs). Cet essai s’inscrit dans un vison déterministe de la production de santé sans ignorer pour autant les marges de liberté des comportements à risques. Pour cela, il passe en revue les différentes étapes de la vie de chacun (enfance, adolescence, âge adulte). Le résultat est sidérant : la reproduction sociale de santé de génération en génération est une réalité de la démocratie sanitaire. On touche là à la pire des injustices puisque les causes sont sociales. Cela représente un double défi à la Santé publique comme instrument d’égalisation des chances en santé et à la démocratie sociale comme moyen de lutte contre les injustices.

Abstract

'Healthier' is both an affirmation and an essential summary of the current challenges and opportunities for those working in and around the improvement of population health. The essays contained here champion an approach to health that is consequentialist and rooted in social justice - an expansion of traditional, quantitatively motivated practice that will both inform and inspire any reader from student to seasoned practitioner. Galea's cogent, incisive arguments guarantee that his perspective, currently at the forefront of public health, will soon become conventional wisdom.
