principles of the social model of health
\- Addresses the broader determinants of health: determinants that sit outside the control of the individual such as gender, culture, race or ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographical location and the physical environment.
\- Involves intersectoral collaboration: government and non-government organisations who have an influence over the sociocultural and environmental factors/determinants that influence health status work together to promote health and wellbeing.
\- Acts to reduce social inequities: initiatives should focus on groups who experience poorer health outcomes than the rest of the population, such as Indigenous Australians and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
\- Acts to enable access to health care: sociocultural and environmental factors that reduce access to healthcare for all people. They include cultural and language barriers, economic and geographical factors, and education levels.
\- Empowers individuals and communities: empower individuals and communities so they can participate in decisions made about their health and wellbeing.
