This resource book aims to make a modest contribution to
compiling and disseminating the growing economic evidence
and rationales for addressing determinants beyond those
under the direct control of the health sectors. It also brings to
light the evidence in favour of more innovative intersectoral
health system practices. Figure 1.1 has been developed as
a guide for readers to access the most useful information
to them. Although it is recommended to read the current
chapter as well as chapters 2 and 3 to gain an overall
understanding of how the economics of social determinants
of health has been analysed, chapters 4 to 6 are accessible
to readers as separate sector-specific resources.
