Charles, thank you for taking the time to write, but your comment seems not to be directly related to the article. But in my other papers I have mentioned that energy is the blood of markets as without energy there is no production, nothing to consume, no money(no dollar), not enough energy means economic black outs......but that line of thinking would not affect the ideas in that article,,,

I am interested in understanding the most effective public health interventions that have successfully addressed health inequalities across diverse global settings. In your experience or from your research, which interventions have shown the greatest impact in reducing health disparities and improving overall population health? Additionally, what are the key factors that contribute to the success of these interventions, and how can they be adapted for use in different contexts? I am eager to hear your insights and engage in a fruitful discussion that can help inform future public health strategies.
Relevant answer
Answer
The most effective interventions include community-based programs, access to healthcare services, health education, social determinants-focused policies, and vaccination campaigns. Success factors: strong political support, multisectoral collaboration, cultural sensitivity, scalability, and sustainable funding. Adaptation involves understanding local contexts and engaging stakeholders for effective implementation.

I don't know the difference between this two theories. I know that they have contact points, e.g. influence of social and historical context in human lives, the support networks and life-long process. But, I wonder what is the difference?
Relevant answer
Answer
This is really an interesting question because Elder and Vygotsky are indeed similar. Elder's originality consists in linking human lives with history. For him development takes always place in time and space.He is aware of an ever changing environment and this gives time, context social dynamics an increased visibility. It does not merely focus on the individual change process put remains open for the totality of history. Though Vygotsky is also interested in the interaction of individuals with their environment, he obviously does not refer so radically to history in its totality.

In 2013, Mike Savage and others proposed a new model of class that was no longer based exclusively upon socio-economic status (SES). They suggested seven classes, including a ‘precariat’, ‘emergent service workers’, ‘technical middle class’ and ‘elite’ class. The previous SES version showed a class gradient correlating with health outcomes, and this assocation was generally explained in terms of deprivation and access to health care and health knowledge. Can the new model be used to explain health inequalities, and if so, what is the mechanism?

Hi Benny
Well I’m getting from your answer a qualified ‘no’. Interesting, the report on the Lancet-Oslo University Commission that you reference states quite bluntly that ‘the fact that people’s life chances differ so widely is not simply a problem of poverty, but one of socioeconomic inequality’ (2014: 631).
What worries me (oh, that’s not quite right: what frustrates me slightly) about the Savage et al. model is that it seems to obscure some of this socioeconomic inequality, by focusing in on things like cultural capital: defining a person’s class in part by whether they prefer Country and Western music or the opera. I can sort of accept that social capital (provided by the people with whom one associates) has some purchase, though it seems a rather circular argument to define a person’s class in terms of the people to whom she or he is similar.
But what does really worry me about this model of class, in terms of its utility to predict life chances and health, illness and mortality, is that it seems quite possible to shift easily from one class to another over a lifetime. Indeed I reckon I’ve been a member of at least four of the seven classes over my adult life! Which one now predicts my health expectations: the one I end up within, or the one I was in when in my 20s or 30s?

Seems the factors could be inherent to the Saudi Healthcare system. However, you could also look at literature from studies around other Muslim dominant countries like Pakistan and Indonesia. Will give some references later.

I've read theToni Schofield's paper on Health sociology review journal about health inequities and its social determinants. In the paper, the author did mention that health inequities and health inequalities or differences are not the same. I do not get this point. What is the difference b/w health inequities and health inequalities? Could you give me an example to understand the difference, please? Thank you so much
Relevant answer
Answer
inequities are unjust inequalities, or in other words, inequalities produced as a result of societal arrangement rather than personal health decisions.

Globalization is a present process in the new century that has impacted on several areas, including health and health care. Despite some positive effects of the globalization such as increased connection between people and nations, globalization has been accompanied by increasing inequality and also created several consequences for health, especially for the vulnerable population.
