Q

What is the medical model of health?

A
  • Narrow and simplistic understanding of health. Medically biased definitions focusing on the absence of disease or disability
  • Doesn’t take into account the wider influences on health (outside of the physical body)
  • Influenced by scientific and expert knowledge
  • Emphasizes personal, individual responsibility for health (puts blame on the individual instead of a group of people

Q

What is the social model of health?

A
  • Beyond physical body
  • Broad or complex understanding of health. More holistic definitions of health taking a wider range of factors into account such as mental and social dimensions of health
  • Takes into account wider influences on health such as the environment the impact of inequalities
  • Takes into account lay knowledge and understandings
    Emphasizes collective, social responsibility for health

    • Germ theory was no longer up to task by the 1950s
    • Black box
      Understand the risk factors and the disease but not necessarily the mechanisms
61
Q

What are the 9 causal associations?

A

1) Temporality*
- The exposure occurred before the disease
2) Strength of association
- Strong measure of association (i.e., OR, RR)
3) Consistency
- Same results for different people, places, and times
4) Specificity*
- Related to infectious disease. Single cause leads to an effect (i.e. germ theory)
5) Dose-Response Relationship (Biological Gradient)
-As the dose of the exposure increases, the risk for the outcome also increases or decreases in a gradient fashion
6) Biological Plausibility
- Existing biological or social model to explain the association
7) Coherence *
- Association does not conflict with known facts about the history and biology of disease
8) Experiment
- Been tested using an experimental design
9) Analogy*
Similarities between the observed association and other associations
