Abstract
The dominant perspectives on population-health research and policy have significant gaps that are limiting public health’s role in public policy. Most public-health initiatives focus on individual risk factors associated with physical health. From a health perspective, this emphasis neglects the importance of mental health; from a prevention perspective, it under-estimates the importance of social and environmental determinants. Furthermore, social-determinants research focuses narrowly on socio-economic factors, notably inequality, to the neglect of cultural factors. Culture and mental health are closely linked. This is seen clearly in young people’s health, an important predictor of future
