9 Statistics: Why is Social Justice Important to Consider? “Compared to whites, African Americans and ‘Hispanics’ are more than twice as likely to have diabetes. Among people younger than 20, American Indians aged have the highest prevalence of type 2 diabetes.” (CDC, 2011) “HIV prevalence rate for blacks was almost eight times as high as that of whites and nearly three times as high for ‘Hispanics.’” (CDC, 2007) “Infants born to black women are 1.5 to 3 times more likely to die than infants born to women of other races/ethnicities.” (CDC, 2011) “After declining for a period, overall US health disparities have been increasing since about 1990.” (Krieger et al. 2008)

10 The Principles of Social Justice 1.Social and Economic Equality 2.Political Equality and Democracy 3.Liberation and Emancipation 4.Autonomy “Social justice is a matter of life and death. It affects the way people live, their consequent chance of illness, and their risk of premature death.” (WHO, 2008)

12 What is Health Inequity? “Health inequities are systematic differences in health status that are unnecessary, avoidable, unfair, and unjust” (Margaret Whitehead, 1992). Health Inequities vs… Health Disparities Social Determinants of Health
