ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the determinants involved in the mental suffering of schoolchildren on the French-Brazilian border. Methods: a qualitative study was conducted with children from 6 to 12 years of age from four State schools in the municipality of Oiapoque, located on the French-Brazilian border. The data were obtained through interviews, analyzed by the IRAMUTEQ software, and interpreted in the light of the Dahlgren and Whitehead’s social determinants of health model. Results: data indicate that the mental suffering experienced by children, especially characterized by anxious symptoms, such as concern of becoming fat and worries, were permeated by social situations that children went through daily, such as family abandonment, domestic violence, and bullying. Final Considerations: social determinants can be predictors of mental suffering in children, especially in environments of extreme vulnerability, such as the border, in a context of financial difficulties, domestic violence, and absence of parenting.

This concluding chapter explains that in order to develop interrelationships and interdependencies across the various domains within a social determinants of health rainbow model, there needs to be a good understanding and respect for each of these contributions to the health and wellbeing of people and their communities. In the ten-year period of austerity preceding the COVID-19 crisis, many local authorities have radically reduced their social and health services for children and families and young people, concentrating solely on those with the most acute need, those whom they have a legal obligation to support. Indeed, local government has 'retreated from its historical position as the front-line of defence against social evils'. There remain major concerns about local authorities' ability to support their communities in the post-COVID-19 period. Ultimately, although there are large numbers of reports and reviews aimed at local commissioning policies and practices, there is very little evidence to support the interrelated and interdependent approaches utilising a social determinants of health model that specifically addresses 'wicked issues'.

The issue of the necessity to either mainstream the tribes or leave them in their present habitat has been taking place for quite some time. But efforts at ensuring their healthy existence have not been taken up seriously. Various committees have been constituted in the past to discuss about their status and providing them benefits. But the concerns regarding health which can be ensured through simple yet conscious means have been neglected. In the context of the people in the mainstream, often the importance of this model is advocated for healthier life. The same can also be extended to the tribal population with a little effort. The present study is an attempt to highlight through the social determinants of health model, how one such reclusive tribe residing in Andaman Islands, that is the Onges, can be made to live a better and healthier life.

Providing effective health interventions and achieving equity in health need to apply the community-based approaches such as social determinants of health. In the military organizations, these determinants have received less attention from the military health researchers and policymakers. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and explain the social determinants affecting the health of military forces in Iran. This was a qualitative study which was conducted in 2014. The required data were collected through semistructured interviews and analyzed through Conventional Content Analysis. The studied sample consisted of 22 military health experts, policymakers, and senior managers selected using purposeful sampling method with maximum variation sampling. MAXQDA.2007 was used to analyze the collected data. After analyzing the collected data, two main contents, that is, “general social determinants of health” and “military social determinants of health,” with 22 themes and 90 subthemes were identified as the social determinants of military forces’ health. Main themes were religious rule, spirituality promotion policies, international military factors, military command, and so forth. Given the role and importance of social factors determining the military forces’ health, it can be recommended that the military organizations should pay more attention to these determinants in making policies and creating social, economic, and cultural structures for their forces.
