Social Determinants of Health - Dr. Adewale Troutman
1. COMMUNITY ISSUES FORUM PORTLAND OREGON OCTOBER 8, 2009 ADEWALE TROUTMAN, M.D., M.P.H., M.A. THE TROUTMAN GROUP Creating Health Equity; Social Justice, Human Rights and the Social Determinants of Health
7. TRADITIONAL SOCIAL JUSTICE How can we address risky behavior and target vulnerable populations? How can we target the health depriving conditions and policies that make people vulnerable? Why do people smoke? What economic policies and social conditions predispose people to the stress that encourages smoking? How can we create more green space, bike paths, and farmers’ markets in disadvantaged neighborhoods? What policies and institutional practices by government and corporations discourage access to transportation, recreational resources, and access to nutritious foods in neighborhoods where population is poorest? How can we promote greater personal responsibility for health? How can we create social responsibility and public accountability to protect the public good? How do we treat the consequences of health inequity? How does the prioritization of profit over human need and ecological sustainability affect health inequity? Overarching social justice questions: Why do those who make decisions that negatively affect health make those decisions? Why do they have that power?

82. Health in All Policies addresses the effects on health across all policies such as agriculture, education, the environment, fiscal policies, housing, and transport . It seeks to improve health and at the same time contribute to the well-being and the wealth of the nations through structures, mechanisms and actions planned and managed mainly by sectors other than health. Thus HiAP is not confined to the health sector and to the public health community, but is a complementary strategy with a high potential towards improving a population’s health, with health determinants as the bridge between policies and health outcomes.
85. If my community were healthy it would look like, no people littering, people riding bikes, no people dealing drugs, kids playing at the park, no gunshots, parents and kids walking their dogs, no people smoking, parents taking their baby’s in a stroller to the park to walk them around the park. Denzel: age 10
86. My neighborhood has many train tracks and a really big factory that does something, I don’t know what. There is a church, a community center but there is no store close to where I live. D’coreyan: age 10
87. Every day I go to the community center on the side of it, they are selling drugs or showing off their guns and sometimes I am scared to walk pass because I think they will shoot me. Michael: age 10

Editor's Notes
The Commission believes that the inequalities in health outcomes previously described are avoidable and therefore unjust. It considers health as a marker of development. And that contributing to development (and ultimately health) is both national economic growth and empowerment; empowerment of individuals, communities and nations. So what is meant by empowerment: this relates to having both basic material needs AND control, power and agency to lead lives with dignity and security
So what do we do about that? Tell people to exercise more, eat right and reduce their stress? And that would work – let’s say if you had groceries in your neighborhood that carried fresh fruits and vegetables, if you weren’t afraid of violence in your community, if you had recreation areas close to your home and you had control over things that create stress in your life – like institutional racism, economic opportunities and pollution in you neighborhood. Dr. Troutman, the Director of Public Health and Wellness and a nationally renowned expert, always explains the basic premise of the shift we need to make – Baby story.
