根据健康的社会决定因素来界定健康问题的目的是将政策注意力转移到非医疗战略上，以改善人口健康，但人们对公众如何回应这些信息知之甚少。我们进行了一项实验，以测试一篇描述2型糖尿病社会决定因素的新闻文章对公众支持糖尿病预防策略的影响。我们发现，接触社会决定因素的信息导致共和党人和民主党人的意见分歧，相对于他们在阅读一篇没有关于糖尿病原因的文章后的意见。这些结果表明，提高公众对健康的社会决定因素的认识，可能不会一致地增加公众对政策行动的支持。(Am J公共卫生。2009;99：2160-2167. doi：10.2105/AJPH.2009.161414）
Framing health problems in terms of the social determinants of health aims to shift policy attention to nonmedical strategies to improve population health, yet little is known about how the public responds to these messages. We conducted an experiment to test the effect of a news article describing the social determinants of type 2 diabetes on the public's support for diabetes prevention strategies. We found that exposure to the social determinants message led to a divergence between Republicans' and Democrats' opinions, relative to their opinions after viewing an article with no message about the causes of diabetes. These results signify that increasing public awareness of the social determinants of health may not uniformly increase public support for policy action.
