Content Analysis of Media Coverage of Health Inequalities in Canada, 2008
This work includes a full report and highlights. Published in January, 2010.
2008 was a banner year for the study and discussion of health inequalities in public health circles in Canada and elsewhere. In anticipation of the release of the final report of the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Commission on the Social Determinants of Health (WHO, 2008), a number of public health meetings and publications focused on the issue of health inequalities.
In order to ascertain whether the release of several public health reports and the publicizing of conferences and events would garnish significant press coverage, the NCCHPP commissioned the Caisse Chartier Press Analysis Laboratory at the Université du Québec à Montréal to find out.
A number of interesting things emerged from the analysis, and both the highlights and the full report are offered here.
