“…The realization of social and physical environments that positively influence the health of all people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, and disability is a national priority (Healthy People 2020, 2014). Health professionals, including nurses, have called for interprofessional collaborations that eliminate health disparities and decrease the adverse health effects of the social determinants (Satcher, 2010;Srinivasan & Williams, 2014). With caring at its core, nursing as a health discipline interacts directly with individuals, families, and communities, and is exceptionally well suited for advancing health equity (Reutter & Kushner, 2010;Smith, 2007).…”

Social determinants of health influence health outcomes and contribute to health disparities in diverse populations. A meta-synthesis was conducted to provide emic perspectives of the experiences of African Americans living with HIV in the rural southeastern United States. Analysis of qualitative literature revealed patterns among social determinants of health as upstream factors contributing to health care barriers, poor health outcomes, decreased quality of life, and health disparities. The purpose of our meta-synthesis was the illumination and synthesis of themes describing characteristics of social determinants of health in selected qualitative articles. The nine themes that emerged included living in poverty, enduring unemployment, missing work, lacking transportation, sustaining stress, feeling socially excluded, needing social support, battling substance use, and lacking adequate health care.

“…Developing countries should undertake appropriate efforts to promote maternal education, improve access to clean water and safe sanitation and better living circumstance. In developing countries, macroeconomic policies have a great influence on reducing health disparities (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24), but there is little evidence about impact of macroeconomic policies on SDH (19,25,26). One of the main challenges of healthcare systems of Iran is health inequality.…”

Background: Health is a complex phenomenon that can be studied from different approaches. Despite a growing research in the areas of Social Determinants of Health (SDH) and health equity, effects of macroeconomic policies on the social aspect of health are unknown in developing countries. This study aimed to determine the effect of macroeconomic policies on increasing of the social-health inequality in Iran. Methods: This study was a mixed method research. The study population consisted of experts dealing with social determinants of health. A purposive, stratified and non-random sampling method was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect the data along with a multiple attribute decision-making method for the quantitative phase of the research in which the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was employed for prioritization. The NVivo and MATLAB softwares were used for data analysis. Results: Seven main themes for the effect of macroeconomic policies on increasing the social-health inequality were identified. The result of TOPSIS approved that the inflation and economic instability exert the greatest impact on social-health inequality, with an index of 0.710 and the government policy in paying the subsidies with a 0.291 index has the lowest impact on social-health inequality in the country. Discussion: It is required to invest on the social determinants of health as a priority to reduce health inequality. Also, evaluating the extent to which the future macroeconomic policies impact the health of population is necessary.

“…Since the early 20th century, many scholar-activists have decried the unjust treatment of people of color with respect to their health and well-being (Byrd & Clayton, 2000;DuBois, 1899;Quinn & Thomas, 2011;Srinivasan & Williams, 2014;Washington, 2008). Men of color, in particular, have worse health outcomes than their White counterparts (Braithwaite, Taylor, & Treadwell, 2009;Giorgianni et al, 2012;Jack & Griffith, 2013;Leigh, 2004;Thorpe, Richard, Bowie, LaVeist, & Gaskin, 2013).…”

Am I My Brother’s Keeper? African American Men’s Health Within the Context of Equity and Policy

African American men's health has at times been regarded as irrelevant to the health and well-being of the communities where they are born, grow, live, work, and age. The uniqueness of being male and of African descent calls for a critical examination and deeper understanding of the psycho-socio-historical context in which African American men have lived. There is a critical need for scholarship that better contextualizes African American Male Theory and cultural humility in terms of public health. Furthermore, the focus of much of the social determinants of health and health equity policy literature has been on advocacy, but few researchers have examined why health-related public policies have not been adopted and implemented from a political and theoretical policy analysis perspective. The purpose of this article will be to examine African American men's health within the context of social determinants of health status, health behavior, and health inequalities-elucidating policy implications for system change and providing recommendations from the vantage point of health equity.
