Policy orientation of non-health sectors to social determinants of health

该项目旨在促进了解澳大利亚政府在四个部门（司法、环境、规划和工业）的政策是如何针对健康公平的社会决定因素（SDHE）采取行动的，包括土著人的健康。有证据表明，所有部门的政府政策都影响到健康。世界卫生组织和联合国呼吁对SDHE采取整体政府方法。该项目计划应用理论来了解选定部门的政策价值观和战略如何为这种方法提供或提出障碍。预期的项目成果将为决策者提供证据，说明如何加强各部门的政策一致性，更有效地解决SDHE问题，以促进澳大利亚的健康，减少健康不平等。

This project aims to advance understanding of how Australian government policies in four sectors (justice, environment, planning, and industry) are oriented to action on social determinants of health equity (SDHE), including Indigenous health. Evidence shows that government policy in all sectors affects health. The World Health Organization and the United Nations have called for whole-of-government approaches to SDHE. The project plans to apply theory to understand how policy values and strategies in the selected sectors provide for or present barriers to this approach. Expected project outcomes will produce evidence for policy-makers on how to strengthen policy coherence across sectors to address SDHE more effectively in order to promote Australian health and reduce health inequities.
