But when we look deeper, we see that itís about more than just encouraging lifestyle change There are also more complex, underlying elements that contribute to illness These are known as the ësocial determinants of healthí and they include your income, your cultural background, your gender whether or not you work, where you work, the type of house you live in, your level of education and even the strength of your social support. For example If youíre unemployed, youíre more likely to live in poor housing have limited social support, and thus, are more likely to experience stress, anxiety, depression and youíre more likely to smoke Similarly, if youíre from a culturally-diverse background you may experience racism which can also lead to stress, anxiety and depression Health promotion works to address issues like these by supporting strong social networks advocating for respectful relationships encouraging attitude change developing healthy, safe and supportive communities ensuring research informs efforts and supports good public policy and working to reduce health inequalities In other words, health promotion equals multiple wins For example By developing healthy environments, we work to encourage people to be more active A 5% cut in physical inactivity across the population can save 1,000 lives and has the potential to result in $48 million in health costs annually Or supporting a person who is likely to experience racism through strong social networks in the community we work to prevent risky behaviours such as tobacco use and if we can reduce tobacco smoking by just 4%, we can save 3000 lives each year See, it really can make a difference. At VicHealth, we aim to reduce the significant costs of treating chronic disease enhance economic productivity, bridge the health gap between certain population groups create healthier places for people to live, inform government policy, and most importantly improve the quality of peopleís lives.
