In recent decades growing attention has been paid to how the social and environmental conditions in which we live— such as air quality (environmental) and income (social) — affect our health. These are known as social and environmental determinants of health. Now a spotlight has been turned on commercial determinants of health, thanks to a new series in The Lancet. Today we’re chatting with three contributors to that series to learn more about commercial determinants: how the products made by commercial actors, and the processes they use in making them, affect people’s health, and how we might start to reduce those impacts. Thanks as always to our guests:
· Sharon Friel - ARC Laureate Fellow, Professor of Health Equity, Australian National University
· Anna Gilmore - Professor of Public Health, Department for Health, University of Bath
· Jenn Lacy-Nichols - Research Fellow, Victorian Health Promotion Foundation, University of Melbourne.
'Voices of the Health Revolution' is a podcast series that shines a spotlight on the trailblazers who are leading bold action to protect our universal right to health - even when that means taking a stand against the big industries who threaten it.
