The Wider Determinants of Health tool is designed to:

- provide the public health system with intelligence on the wider determinants of health, to help improve population health and reduce health inequalities
This update contains:
- 2 indicators new to the Fingertips platform; the percentage of adults cycling for travel at least 3 days per week and the percentage of adults walking for travel at least 3 days per week
- an update of 4 existing indicators to add new data; affordability of home ownership, unemployment, long-term claimants of Jobseeker’s Allowance, and Employment and Support Allowance claimants
