The Links Between Inequity and Health in Canada
ACCESS
The conclusion is that working towards health equity has a positive impact on individuals and benefits the whole community. (Van Ingen et al., 2015)
There is an uneven geographic distribution of heath services. (Skinner & Masuda, 2013)
SOCIAL DETERMINANTS
The argument suggests that the existence of health inequities is more than a problem with policy makers, but reflects a deeply rooted problem within governance and societal responsibility to protect the well being of all citizens. (Skinner & Masuda, 2013)
There is a relationship between liveability and healthy inequity. (Skinner & Masuda, 2013)
PUBLIC OPINION
"Health inequities previously identified in the City [Toronto] have not improved over time." (Van Ingen et al., 2015, p.28)
While going through our daily lives our conversations include the visible manifestations of inequity. (Skinner & Masuda, 2013)
GOVERNMENT POLICY
There is a disparity in access to health services, housing, employment, and education for the Aboriginal population as it relates to their overall health and well-being. (Adelson, 2015)
"The research found a disproportionate burden of ill health related to instances such as violence, suicide, disease on the Aboriginal Population in Canada." (Adelson, 2005, p.15)
DEFINITION OF INEQUITY
Assessing health equity requires
comparing health and its social determinants among more and less advantaged social groups. (Braveman & Gruskin, 2003)
Health inequities include differences in health between specific population groups that are systemic, avoidable, unfair and unjust. (Kirst et al., 2017)
Inequity arises when individuals in higher socioeconomic groups are more likely to use, or are using a greater quantity of health services after controlling the system that impacts on the ill-health of lower socioeconomic groups. (Allin et al., 2010)
The links between poor
health outcomes and inequity amongst Indigenous Canadians will be identified through an
analysis of colonialism, socio-economic factors, and the prevalence of mental health issues
within the community.
