determinants of health model  

Definition

  • The determinants of health model is a hypothetical construct for understanding population health and the multiple range of factors that determine its level. In a broad sense, the determinants of health model is the most recent and comprehensive explanatory attempt to understand causality in epidemiology and its translation into policy intervention, from both the population and societal perspectives; therefore, the model is particularly relevant to public health research and practice.
