Scope

Public Health is pleased to announce a major, international, multidisciplinary and intersectoral conference, reviewing our current knowledge of social, cultural and economic determinants of health and how such determinants can be influenced to improve public health.

Whilst the conference will focus on comparative national perspectives, the public health research and practice presented will explore key messages for international and for global public health and well-being.

Topics

The main themes of the conference will include:

• Social and societal factors in health and the reduction in health inequalities
• Culture, lifestyle and choice in health and well-being
• The economics of public health and healthcare delivery
• Systems change for health improvement

Selected papers from the conference will be published in a special issue of Public Health to be published after the event.
