The PHAC report (2004) describes that the degree of control people have over life circumstances is a key influence on health. The report also shows that large income distribution gaps lead to increases in social problems and poorer health among the population as a whole. Health status increases with job rank. Income is linked to job status. There is a correlation between economic position and disease resistance (PHAC 2004). A BC Stats report on economic diversity and economic dependency is based on the premise that a diversified economic base will provide more community stability in volatile economic times (Horne 2004). Veenstra (2001) also cites studies showing that societies with a high degree of income inequality are also ones with low social cohesion or social capital. He adds that social capital may influence health related behaviors by promoting diffusion of health-related information. Implications for Schedules C and G: While Schedule C and G include several appropriate and measurable indicators, there are more indicators that are recommended to paint a more complete picture of the economic status of the North and Central Coast, including income distribution, number of businesses, number of workers who are permanent residents, and others. Because of the importance of economic indicators, and the available existing sources for economics, both primary and secondary indicators are recommended for measurement. 4.4.5 Culture The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) considers culture a determinant of health, stating that “some persons or groups may face additional health risks due to a socioeconomic environment that is largely determined by dominant cultural values that contribute to the perpetuation of conditions such as marginalization, stigmatization, loss or devaluation of language and culture and lack of access to culturally appropriate health care and services” (PHAC 2004). The Statistical Report on the Health of Canadians reports that despite major improvements since the 1970s, First Nations infant mortality rates were twice as high as the population as a whole and the prevalence of major diseases is significantly higher in Aboriginal communities. PHAC advocates for programs that enhance cultural identity, pride and participation. Turner and Ommer (2003) have also documented the association between traditional foods and physical health among Aboriginal people. Implications for Schedules C and G: Not all HWB frameworks included culture as a key determinant in HWB, and some frameworks combined culture with recreation and arts. However, given the importance of culture in Schedules C and G and the high First Nations population in the plan areas, this component remains recommended as a key component in HWB for the North and Central Coast. 27
None of the indicators recommended for inclusion in Schedule C and G have been selected in consultation with First Nation community members on the North and Central Coast. 5.0 LOGIC MODELS FOR HUMAN WELL-BEING The logic models drafted for each of the five components of human well-being show the linkages between factors using arrows connecting the factors. The acronyms (such as RCP) between arrows between the boxes indicate the research conducted that substantiates the association between factors (see Figures 5 through 9). The short, medium, and longer term outcomes of the five components of HWB selected for the North and Central Coast plan areas are depicted in the logic models. 28
