Abstract: "Can self-assessed health be relied on to identify the true socioeconomic gradients in health status? The self-assessed health of Russian adults in 2002 shows remarkably little gradient with respect to economic welfare. The authors document this finding and assess its robustness to the assumptions routinely made in measuring health and welfare. They find that the expected economic gradient only emerges once one focuses on the component of self-assessed health that is explicable in terms of age and more objective health indicators and one allows for broader dimensions of economic welfare than captured by standard income-based measures. The results point to the need for caution in analyzing and interpreting self-assessed health data."--World Bank web site.

In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

This paper empirically addresses two questions using a large individual level Swedish data set linking mortality data to health survey data. The first question is whether there is an effect of an individual's self-assessed health on his subsequent survival probability and if this effect differs by socio-economic factors. The second question is: How much of the income-related inequality in mortality can be explained by income-related inequality in self-assessed health? The results suggest that the often observed inequalities in self-assessed health by income do have predictive power for the less often observed inequalities in survival by income.

This study explores the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and health, and examines how that relationship may be affected in the context of rising income inequality. Using General Social Survey (GSS) data from 1975 to 2010 to perform a series of logistic regressions, this study examines the relationship between health and three common measures of socioeconomic status -- household income, education, and occupational prestige -- to determine if all three measures of SES are significantly associated with self-rated health when controlling for socio-demographic variables. Full model odds ratios are plotted by year to provide a visual illustration of the change in the association from 1975 to 2010, in the context of a significant increase in U.S. income inequality. Next, year interaction effects are considered for each SES measure to determine if there is a significant difference in the effect from the base year of 1975. The study provides two major findings. First, household income and education are significantly associated with self-rated health across all years, but occupational prestige is not a significant predictor of self-rated health when controlling for household income and education. And secondly, there is no overall clear pattern in the change in the effect of household income, education, or occupational prestige throughout all years of the study. However, the interaction effects, when compared to the base year of 1975, demonstrate a significant difference in the effect of income for some years between 1977 and 1991 and in the effect of education for some years between 1990 and 2006.

To maintain their own health and the health of their families and communities, consumers rely heavily on the health information that is available to them. This information is at the core of the partnerships that patients and their families forge with today's complex modern health systems. This information may be provided in a variety of forms â€" ranging from a discussion between a patient and a health care provider to a health promotion advertisement, a consent form, or one of many other forms of health communication common in our society. Yet millions of Americans cannot understand or act upon this information. To address this problem, the field of health literacy brings together research and practice from diverse fields including education, health services, and social and cultural sciences, and the many organizations whose actions can improve or impede health literacy. Health Literacy: Prescription to End Confusion examines the body of knowledge that applies to the field of health literacy, and recommends actions to promote a health literate society. By examining the extent of limited health literacy and the ways to improve it, we can improve the health of individuals and populations.

Abstract: The paper studies the relationship between self-assessed health and subsequent mortality in the German Socio-Economic Panel. Specifically, I examine whether socio-economic characteristics of respondents have an effect on mortality, conditional on self-assessed health. Such conditional effects are shown to exist for various covariates, including age, income, and wealth. These findings question the comparability of self-assessed health across different socio-economic groups
