The social and behavioural determinants of health in Europe: findings from the European Social Survey (2014) special module on the social determinants of health

Abstract

Substantial numbers of Europeans are exposed to social and behavioural determinants of health problems. Moreover, the extent to which people experience these social and behavioural factors varies cross-nationally. Future research should examine in more detail how these factors are associated with physical and mental health outcomes, and how these associations vary across countries.
