Foundations of Health Studies (Canada)

Write a 250-word response to the 3 questions below.  You do not need to use direct quotations or citations, or outside sources.  Use your OWN words.  You can write in the first person or not.  Your answer will be assessed on how well you understand the course material thus far.  Please add a new discussion topic when posting your answers, i.e. each student should have their own thread.

Note: it is 250 words for all 3 questions, not 250 words for each question.

EXIT TICKET QUESTIONS:

Explain, in your own words, what health equity is.
What are some health inequities that exist in your communities?  Or maybe don’t exist in your communities?
How do the social determinants of health affect these health inequities?  Or lack of health inequities?

For more information about social determinants of health, refer to “Social Determinants of Health: The Canadian Facts” (a free resource created by York University professor Dr. Dennis Raphael).  Link is here:  https://www.thecanadianfacts.org/The_Canadian_Facts-2nd_ed.pdf
