A

phenomenon whereby low socioeconomic groups have worse health outcomes (+ shorter lives) than those more advantaged in terms of SEP
- most key social determinants follow gradient

Q

why measure SEP

A
  • Quantify level of inequality within or between societies
  • Highlight changes (stratification/differences between/within groups) to population structure over time, between Census periods, between generations
  • Understand relationship between health and other social variables (age, sex, ethnicity)

Q

deprivation features

A
  • another way of measuring people’s relative position in society but reports based on where they live, not who they are
    • respondents more willing to respond and easier to ask as surveyor
  • focus on material deprivation
    • easier to measure “don’t have”s than “have”s
  • should be applied to conditions and quality of life that are of lower standard than is ordinary in a particular society
    • what is defined as ordinary is predominantly Eurocentric
    • don’t factor in intragenerational accommodation => focus on majority

Q

Reasons for reducing inequities

A

- poor health is the consequence of an unjust distribution of underlying social determinants of health
2) AVOIDABLE
3) affect EVERYBODY
- everyone may be affected by the conditions of the weakest/most vulnerable members of their community

Q

Drawing a Lorenz curve

A

1) order the population from lowest to highest and ask
- what % of wealth is owned by the poorest 10% pop?
- what % of wealth is owned by the poorest 20% pop? etc.
2) draw a line of absolute equality (45º)
3) draw line based on available data (concave)
4) the more concave, the greater the income inequality in a pop.

the redistribution of resources according to need

88
Q

leveling or privileging

A

equitable distribution is not always equal distribution

- NZ particularly hung up on providing equal access

89
Q

types of interventions

A
  • structural interventions

- social interventions (rights based approach and commitment to review and level playing field)

90
Q

population-based approach

A
  • NOT aimed at individual behaviour
  • are people able to access services and know how to access them?
  • do not focus on the negative group (not what’s wrong with them) but the environ./system
91
Q

determinants of ethnic inequities in health

A

1) Differential access to health determinants or exposures leading to differences in disease influence
2) Differential access to health care
3) Differences in quality of care received

92
Q

Internationally, minorities report:

A
  • Less likely to feel they have been listened to
  • Less time spent with health care provider
  • Less likely to have received adequate explanations
  • More likely to have unanswered questions
  • More dissatisfaction with health service and system

Maori history

A

1) early contact

2) official engagement

96
Q

colonisation

A

heralding an era of depopulation, disease and dispossession

97
Q

treaty of waitangi implications

A
  • creation of govt
  • maori land
  • different or denied citizenship
98
Q

Creation of Government – Art I & II

A

– Art I - Construction of state sector – justice system, education, health, welfare etc - remnants of treaty (treaty-based)
– Constitution Act 1852 – created settler government
– Who got to vote - maori had to get individual title
– Laws and policies – Art II
(Disregard for Māori voice/authority despite Art II)

govt - relation to health

A

policy alienation

Māori land

A

Land alienation
– social disruption of community
