Although one can fairly trace concern with the social determinants of health at least as far back as Ramazzini, in a very real sense, the contemporary versions of the field took critical shape in Canada with the release of the Lalonde Report in 1974.
So, when scholars like Juha Mikkonen and Dennis Raphael author a brand-spanking-new report on the SDOH in Canada, one would be well-advised to hurry over to the website and download the report in its entirety. I have read (devoured?) it, and the report is nothing short of a tour de force. My highest recommendation.
