EXPLORING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH
WHAT SHAPES HEALTH-RELATED BEHAVIORS? is a report from the RWJF. It explains why I have shifted my focus of obesity prevention efforts from the individual to the community and why opportunity for health is limited by the environment in which people live.
Here is one quote from the article:
"While no government or private program can take the place of people making healthy choices for themselves and their families, society bears a responsibility as well: to pursue programs and policies that both encourage and enable all Americans—and particularly those who face the greatest obstacles—to choose health".
If you have the time to take a look at the report I encourage you to do so. It can be accessed here.
