Social Determinants of Health

SDH General Programme Work
The NSM Centre has been commissioned to deliver strategic and social marketing services to aid domestic and European efforts in tackling the Social Determinants of Health (SDH). Key partners in this work include the Department of Health, World Health Organisation, Eurohealthnet and Business in the Community.

The International Team are working collaboratively with key partners and domestic and European stakeholders to develop and implement strategies to increase understanding of the SDH in key target markets. Marketing and promotional support is also being provided to key partners. Programme activities will feed into the Marmot Review on SDH which was recently commissioned by the Secretary of State for Health.

SDH Film Project
The NSM Centre is currently developing three short films that outline effective SDH interventions taking place in Glasgow, Copenhagen and Murska Sobota. The SDH programmes highlighted in the films were chosen following a comprehensive research based evaluation of over 20 domestic and international SDH interventions.

Each of the chosen interventions is unique in terms of scale, budget, target population and approach but all clearly demonstrate that successful SDH programmes can and have been implemented. It is envisaged the films, by highlighting success stories, will inspire key target audiences to implement effective SDH interventions of their own.

The first three films are due for completion on the 1st April 2009 and will be promoted and distributed though a variety of channels including a new NSM Centre SDH online community.
