Social determinants of health are the social and economic conditions that have a determining impact on health at an individual and population level. Working within this framework, in 2019 the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University and The Lancet published The legal determinants of health: Harnessing the power of law for global health and sustainable development. This report identifies and promotes four legal determinants: provision of universal health coverage under the Sustainable Development Goals; governance of national and global health institutions; implementation of evidence-based health interventions; and building legal capacity. These determinants are dominated by the role of law in founding and governing health institutions and regulating their interventions. Such work is essential. However, the relationship between law, health improvement, and health equity articulated through these four determinants risks marginalising questions of disadvantage and inequality that social determinants of health research—and the report itself—mandate we attend to. Addressing the UK experience of COVID-19, and how social inequalities profoundly impacted experiences and outcomes in the first year of the pandemic, this article builds on the Lancet-O’Neill Commission’s important work to argue that any articulation of legal determinants of health must foreground law’s role in improving fairness in social arrangements and the distribution of resources.

健康的法律决定因素

健康的社会决定因素是对个人和人口水平的健康具有决定性影响的社会和经济条件。在此框架内,乔治敦大学奥尼尔国家和全球卫生法研究所和柳叶刀于 2019 年发表了健康的法律决定因素:利用法律的力量促进全球健康和可持续发展。本报告确定并促进了四个法律决定因素:在可持续发展目标下提供全民健康覆盖;国家和全球卫生机构的治理;实施循证健康干预措施;和建设法律能力。这些决定因素主要是法律在建立和管理卫生机构以及规范其干预方面的作用。这样的工作是必不可少的。然而,通过这四个决定因素阐明的法律、健康改善和健康公平之间的关系有可能将弱势和不平等问题边缘化,而这些问题是健康研究的社会决定因素——以及报告本身——要求我们关注的问题。针对英国在 COVID-19 方面的经验,以及社会不平等如何对大流行第一年的经验和结果产生深远影响,本文以柳叶刀-奥尼尔委员会的重要工作为基础,认为任何对健康的法律决定因素的阐述都必须前景法在提高社会安排和资源分配公平性方面的作用。通过这四个决定因素阐明的健康和公平性有可能将弱势和不平等问题边缘化,而这些问题是健康研究的社会决定因素——以及报告本身——要求我们关注的问题。针对英国在 COVID-19 方面的经验,以及社会不平等如何对大流行第一年的经验和结果产生深远影响,本文以柳叶刀-奥尼尔委员会的重要工作为基础,认为任何对健康的法律决定因素的阐述都必须前景法在提高社会安排和资源分配公平性方面的作用。通过这四个决定因素阐明的健康和公平性有可能将弱势和不平等问题边缘化,而这些问题是健康研究的社会决定因素——以及报告本身——要求我们关注的问题。针对英国在 COVID-19 方面的经验,以及社会不平等如何对大流行第一年的经验和结果产生深远影响,本文以柳叶刀-奥尼尔委员会的重要工作为基础,认为任何对健康的法律决定因素的阐述都必须前景法在提高社会安排和资源分配公平性方面的作用。
