We have repeatedly referred to Hilary Graham’s warning about the tendency to conflate the social determinants of health and the social processes that shape these

determinants’ unequal distribution, by lumping the two phenomena together under a single label. Maintaining the distinction is

more than a matter of precision in language. As Graham argues, blurring these concepts

may lead to seriously misguided policy choices.

You don't even have to be aware of it to receive

the benefit. And the thing that's really slick

about whiteness, if you will, is that most of the

benefits can be obtained without ever doing

anything personally.

Power, after all, is the heart of the matter—and

the science of health inequities can no more

shy away from this question than can physicists

ignore gravity or physicians ignore pain. Jason Beckfield & Nancy Krieger
