Study Notes
Overview of Health Determinants and Indigenous Health in Canada
- Thomas McKeown developed the social model of health, which emphasizes the role of agriculture and living conditions in addition to medicine in contributing to health.
- Risk factors are individual causes of health issues, while social determinants of health are social causes.
- Social determinants of health include societal production and distribution, social constructs, and social organization.
- Criticisms of the social model of health include the unfeasibility of pushing for social change, overemphasis on the medical approach, and the complexity of short-term solutions.
- Perspectives on health include structural factors (economic and political), agency factors (social interaction and life perspectives), and trajectory factors (long-term patterns with turning points).
- The history of healthcare in Canada includes religious groups and volunteers providing healthcare services, minimal government involvement until the British North American Act of 1867, and the establishment of medical schools and hospitals after the Flexner Report in 1910.
- The introduction of Medicare by Tommy Douglas in 1947 addressed the government's failure to provide medical care, and the Medical Care Act of 1966 expanded healthcare coverage to all provinces.
- The Lalonde Report in 1974 challenged the biomedical model of healthcare and emphasized the importance of lifestyle, environment, and healthcare organization in promoting health.
- The Alma ATA declaration in 1978 recognized primary healthcare as key to health and established principles for healthcare.
- The World Health Organization's definition of health in 1984 emphasized health as a resource for everyday living and the role of social and personal resources.
- The Canada Health Act of 1984 set conditions for provinces to receive federal contributions, including public administration, comprehensiveness, universality, portability, and accessibility.
- The Ottawa Charter in 1986 outlined principles of health promotion, including creating supportive environments, reorienting health services, developing personal skills, strengthening community action, and building healthy public policies.
- The role of governments in healthcare includes federal delivery of healthcare to specific groups, healthcare financing for provinces, enforcement of compliance with the Canada Health Act, and national policy and programming. Indigenous health is impacted by systemic racism, colonialism, and treaties. Assessing population health involves measuring indicators such as life expectancy, disease rates, and mortality rates. Health promotion aims to achieve a high level of well-being and actualization through a holistic approach and empowerment. The health belief model explores why people take preventative actions, while the transtheoretical model identifies stages of behavior change. Social determinants of health include income, social status, education, employment, physical environments, biology, personal health practices, gender, culture, and social environments. Indigenous health in Canada is affected by disparities in education, poverty, and socioeconomic status, but there are also strengths within Indigenous communities to overcome these barriers.
