The Commercial Determinants of Health

Editat de Nason Maani, Mark Petticrew, Sandro Galea
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 dec 2022
An accessible multidisciplinary overview for anyone seeking to understand the commercial determinants of healthOur health is largely shaped by the world around us—by the conditions in which we grow, work, and live. These conditions include the commercial determinants of health, the private sector activities which influence our physical and social environments, our available evidence and solutions, and even our discourse and understanding around key health and social issues. Until recently, commercial determinants have remained largely absent from our conceptual understanding of the drivers of health. The scale of their potential impact necessitates a multidisciplinary and intersectional approach, but no book has yet explored the commercial impacts on health in their totality. This pioneering volume sheds light on how commercial determinants shape health directly and indirectly through influencing policy, evidence, and discourse. Featuring original cross-sector research, The Commercial Determinants of Health draws on insights from a wide-ranging group of experts who introduce the commercial determinants of health and describe the proximal and distal pathways through which they affect population health. Each chapter further illustrates the health impact of commercial actors, including through multidisciplinary case studies ranging from tobacco to fossil fuels. Together, these essays seek to integrate new and emerging research across public health, economics, and policy to enrich our understanding and responses to the commercial determinants of health.

Recenzii

The Commercial Determinants of Health is a book that should transform how public health is defined, taught and delivered. Its contributors, 54 academics from Canada to New Zealand to Ethiopia to the U.K., explain how corporations and governments promote prosperity even at the cost of their customers' and citizens' lives.
Power, privilege, and profitable poisons: commercial determinants are fast becoming the most urgent and significant health, social, and governance challenge of our time. At the heart of the greatest risk facing our planet and populations, this book is an important resource furthering our understandings and catalyzing our responses to the commercial determinants of health.
An important and timely introduction to the field of how commercial factors shape our health, and what we might do about it. This book is essential reading for all working to reduce health inequalities.
This much needed and unprecedented resource tackles the 'elephant in the room'—the dramatic impacts of for-profit enterprises on global health. As a World Health Organization priority area, these commercial determinants of health must be understood and addressed to improve health, wellbeing, and equity. This book's depth and scope across geographies, populations, and industries is a valuable resource. I encourage anyone working in global health or interested in how industries impact the world around us to read it and apply its messages.
This is a timely and impressive collection by leading scholars on the current state of research on the commercial determinants of health. An essential resource for anyone concerned about how certain forms of profit-seeking are running roughshod over the well-being of populations and the planet.
