Social determinants of health (SDOH), or the conditions in which people are born, live, learn, work, and age, influence health behavior and health outcomes. Often, in health education and behavior literature, emphasis is placed on individual behavior. However, scholars are beginning to move more upstream and incorporate SDOH frameworks into public health research. Thus, teaching SDOH is necessary for the next generation of public health scholars. In the COVID-19 pandemic era, SDOH are more prominent than ever as we educate and advocate to increase health equity. We present four strategies on teaching SDOH to master-level candidates in a virtual “Zoom-fatigue” environment during high-profile world events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, racialized police violence, and a contested election.

This chapter discusses how island of Okinawa achieved the highest longevity in the world and why it then came to have high premature death rate in Japan. Okinawa returned to Japanese control in 1972 and for 20 years from 1975 to 1995 had the highest life expectancy and the highest number of centenarians per 100,000 population in the country. These days, Okinawa has a higher prevalence of obesity and higher mortality rates among 40-65 years-old than mainland Japan. This chapter seeks to understand the reasons for the health changes, from historical and cultural perspectives as example of social determinants of health.

The Status

Introduction: Education and income inequality are two important social determinants of health inequality. Every society for improving health status should focus on income equality and education for all. A review of the current situation helps to identify and improve the weaknesses in Iran.  Methods: This study was descriptive and data collection was done by documentary study method. This researchtried to study various global databases, papers and global reports to search the status of Iran in comparison to other countries in different regions. Result: Studies have shown that inequality in income and wealth. Although the situation in Iran is better than the Persian Gulf countries, more inequality is observed in Iran in comparison to other parts of the world, including the United States and Western Europe. In terms of health, among the fifty major causes of death, Iran is ranked first and fourth in global terms due to road accidents and illicit drug use. At the same time, mortality from liver cancer, skin cancer, epilepsy, cervical cancer, kidney cancer, and cancer are in good condition compared to other countries in the world. In the field of education, the state of Iran in primary education, the exclusion of children from primary education, the guarantee of equal access for women and men to higher education and the eradication of gender inequality in participating in education is in a better situation than other parts of the world, but has been weaker than many other countries in the number of preschool years and pre-school education. Conclusion: The status of Iran in income inequality and education showed challenges that should be improve. These two as social determinants of health inequalities have an enormous role in health status. Sustainable development goals can be a guideline for developing the current situation.

Public Health Challenges

During the past three decades, the world has experienced many clinical and public health challenges that require implementa­tion of practices and policies informed by an understanding of social determinants of health and health inequities, but perhaps none as global and pervasive as the current COVID-19 pandemic. In the context of this special themed issue on Social Deter­minants of Health and Implementation Research: Three Decades of Progress and a Need for Convergence, we highlight the application of social determinants of health and implementation research on various as­pects of the COVID-19 pandemic.Ethn Dis. 2021;31(1):5-8;doi:10.18865/ed.31.1.5
