The WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health
(CSDH) will not produce its final report until next Spring:
however, the final reports of the CSDH Knowledge Networks
are now nearly all available on the WHO website: in my view,
this constitutes the most authoritative collection of knowledge
and opinion on social determinants of health ever written. You
can access it at:
