But why does he have a cut on his leg? Because he was playing in the junk yard next to his apartment building and there was some sharp, jagged steel there that he fell on. But why was he playing in a junk yard? Because his neighborhood is kind of run down. A lot of kids play there and there is no one to supervise them. But why does he live in that neighborhood? Because his parents can't afford a nicer place to live. But why can't his parents afford a nicer place to live? Because his Dad is unemployed and his Mom is sick. But why is his Dad unemployed?

Making the healthy choice the easy choice? Emphasizing personal health responsibility = blaming victims?

Making the healthy choice the easy choice? Emphasizing personal health responsibility = blaming victims?

What does this mean “making the healthy choice the easy choice”? Raphael, D. (2009). In D. Raphael (Ed. ) Social Determinants of Health (2 nd ed. ) Toronto: Canadian Scholars’ Press.

MORE than Healthy Lifestyle messaging • There is still too much focus on lifestyle messaging that promotes healthy diets, physical activity, and smoking cessation due to the ‘obesity epidemic’. • We need MORE action on health determinants - emphasis on the role of government, healthy public policy, community empowerment, fair distribution of resources in society.

Refocusing Upstream "I am standing by the shore of a swiftly flowing river and hear the cry of a drowning man. I jump into the cold waters. I fight against the strong current and force my way to the struggling man. I hold on hard and gradually pull him to shore. I lay him out on the bank and revive him with artificial respiration. Just when he begins to breathe, I hear another cry for help. I jump into the cold waters. I fight against the strong current, and swim forcefully to the struggling woman. I grab hold and gradually pull her to shore. I lift her out on the bank beside the man and work to revive her with artificial respiration. Just when she begins to breathe, I hear another cry for help. I jump into the cold waters. Fighting against the strong current, I force my way to the struggling man. I am getting tired, so with great effort I eventually pull him to shore. I lay him out on the bank and try to revive him with artificial respiration. Just when he begins to breathe, I hear another cry for help. Near exhaustion, it occurs to me that I'm so busy jumping in, pulling them to shore, applying artificial respiration that I have no time to see who is upstream pushing them all in. . " A story told by Irving Zola - but is used in an article by John B. Mc. Kinlay in "A Case for Refocusing Upstream: The Political Economy of Illness" Mc. Kinlay, J. B. (1981)
