Prioritise equitable access to affordable screening, brief interventions, treatment &amp; patient support services. Promote health across populations with e.g. community-based mental health services, healthy food labelling, procurement &amp; provision in schools, safe spaces for physical activity &amp; active mobility.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Change unhealthy environments &amp; norms. Work with communities to understand &amp; fix barriers to health, using evidence-based policies to reduce availability, affordability &amp; promotion of health harming products, including tobacco, alcohol, &amp; ultra-processed, high fat, sugar &amp; salt foods &amp; exposure to pollutants. Risk factors often co-exist with poorer living &amp; working conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Tackle the economic, environmental &amp; commercial determinants of health in the context of SDoH. Request and utilise technical support &amp; guidance from WHO to develop effective responses to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Reflect on SDoH to ensure equity &amp; health in all policies &amp; coherence across government, so that unintended health &amp; development impacts of policies, e.g. in trade, agriculture, urban development, transportation &amp; energy do not widen inequalities or undermine our health or that of future generations.<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a statement made at the 148th session of the WHO Executive Board on Agenda item 16: Social determinants of health (Document EB148\/24)\u202f by the World Heart Federation and NCD Alliance.
