Social determinants of health and local government: understanding and uptake of ideas in two Australian states.

CONCLUSION: Resources need to be dedicated to systematic research on practical implementation of interventions on social determinants of health inequities and towards providing staff with more practical information about interventions and tools to evaluate those interventions. IMPLICATIONS: The findings suggest there is support for action addressing the social determinants of health in local government. The findings extend similar research regarding SDoH and government in NZ and Canada to Australian local government. PMID: 27774688 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
