Poster

Posters presented in this session will focus on furthering understanding and action to address the ways that social inequality harms, and social equity improves, the public’s health. Examples of social inequality include inequitable social divisions within societies based on social class, race/ethnicity, and gender, as well as inequitable relations between nations and geographical regions. Given the theme of the APHA conference – on “Social Justice: Public Health Imperative” -- we especially welcome abstracts that critically address the impacts of the mainstreaming of work on the social determinants of health

Session Objectives: Participants who view the posters will be able to: 1) Discuss ways that social inequality harms, and social equity, improves the public's health 2) Describe how the mainstreaming of work on social determinants of health is affecting understanding of and action to address links between social justice and public health
