Poor Health

Poverty and poor health are closely linked in a complex relationship. The prevalence of poverty in the United Kingdom is increasing, leading to widening health inequalities. Poverty affects the social determinants of health on many levels, compromising economic stability, education, social and community contact, lifestyle and access to health care, and the physical environment. It is associated with an increased prevalence of a range of physical and mental health conditions, with certain groups particularly sensitive to the health effects of poverty, including children, pregnant women, the elderly, refugees and claimants. of asylum, gypsies and itinerant communities, and the homeless. General practitioners have an important role to play in identifying the health risks associated with poverty and in supporting individuals and families. The journal covers the health and health care of underserved populations in North and Central America and the Caribbean, and topics such as access to health care, quality, costs, regulations, legislation and disease prevention. Articles take the form of scholarly research and expert advice, as well as political analysis and book reviews. Each issue also contains an ACU column and a Heroes and Great Ideas column
