Tóm tắt :

Over the past 20 years, a range of conceptual frameworks has been developed to examine how social and economic determinants intersect with health and well-being. While the importance of cultural contexts is frequently referenced in these frameworks (in a positive or negative way), the concrete ways in which value systems, traditions and beliefs affect health and well-being are often unacknowledged, as are the frequently positive, protective effects that culture can have in the face of certain health challenges. In January 2015, the WHO Regional Office for Europe convened its first expert group meeting on the cultural contexts of health, thereby initiating a project that seeks to build a platform for research from the health-related humanities and social sciences to support the implementation of the European policy framework Health 2020. The second meeting of the expert group was convened in April 2016 to further explore how research from the humanities and social sciences can inform policy-making, and where this research can shed light on the subjective, human experiences of health. This report outlines the recommendations made by the expert group in relation to these objectives. viii + 35 p.
