This is the Interim Statement of the Commission on Social Determinants of
Health. It sets out the Commission's vision and goals, the problems it seeks
to ameliorate, and the intellectual foundation for a social determinants
approach. In doing so, the Interim Statement is a resource for stakeholders
concerned with social determinants of health and health equity, as they
build towards a global movement.
Recommendations for action, based on the evidence gathered across all the
Commission's work streams, will be made in the Final Report in May 2008.
