Relevant social determinants – Mental Illness

Lack of employment and a sense of hopelessness and despair
Changing family structure
Socioeconomic disadvantage leads to stress and poorer financial status
Mental illness may go undetected in young people
Mental illnesses can often remain undetected in Aboriginal communities because it may not be easy for them to access services

Relevant social determinants - Diabetes

• Social acceptance that Australian lifestyle includes alcohol consumption
• Australia’s ageing population
• Impact of technology on work
• Socioeconomically disadvantaged groups are likely to engage in risk taking behaviour
• Work demands and easy availability of fast food

Relevant social determinants – Respiratory disease

• Low socioeconomic status- leads to an increase in risk behaviour, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
• Access to healthy food products
• Males are less likely to access health services
• Media coverage leads to greater awareness of the risk factors of respiratory disease
• People who live in remote rural areas have higher levels of smoking and obesity as a result of reduced access to health services
