“…This book is a collection of analyses of the social determinants of health
that impact on specific health conditions. Stemming from the recommendations
of the Commission on Social  Determinants of Health, promising interventions
to improve health equity are presented for the areas of: alcohol-related
disorders, cardiovascular diseases, child health and nutrition, diabetes,
food safety, maternal health, mental health, neglected tropical diseases,
oral health, pregnancy outcomes, tobacco and health, tuberculosis, and
violence and injuries.****

The book was commissioned by the Department of Ethics, Equity, Trade and
Human Rights as part of the work undertaken by the Priority Public Health
Conditions Knowledge Network of the Commission on Social Determinants of
Health, in collaboration with 16 of the major public health programmes of
WHO. In addition to this, through collaboration with the Special Programme
of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction, the
Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, and the **
**Alliance**** for Health Policy and Systems Research, 13 case studies were
commissioned to examine the implementation challenges in addressing social
determinants of health in low-and middle-income settings….”****
