Details

This tool brings together available indicators at England and local authority levels on the wider determinants of health with links to further resources.

The Wider Determinants of Health tool is designed to:

• draw attention to the broad range of individual, social and environmental factors which influence our health
• 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:

• new data for 5 indicators already released in other Fingertips profiles
• an update of 14 existing indicators to add new data

The tool is an ongoing project and will continue to be developed over time.

If you would like to send us feedback on the tool contact profilefeedback@phe.gov.uk.
