Social determinants of health

The centre has two main activity areas and addressing social determinants of health is one of them. For those not familiar to social determinants of health, see our resource bank.

We understand social determinants broadly and consider commercial and political determinants as part of social determinants and drivers of social determinants of health. We aim to contribute on research, education, policy analysis and advice to address the social determinants of health and equity.

The centre draws together work on social determinants from multiple disciplines in Tampere University. Our work will form the ground for observatory for social determinants of health.
