Assessing the social determinants of self-reported Inuit health in Inuit Nunangat Introduction The health and well‑being of the Inuit population falls below that of the total population in Canada (Chief Public Health Officer, 2008). [...] The social determinants chosen for analysis were based on the Inuit‑specific health determinants outlined in Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami’s (ITK) 2014 discussion paper Social Determinants of Inuit Health in Canada.1 Data from the 2012 APS were used to explore elements of social determinants of health and their relationship to the self‑reported health of Inuit. [...] The analysis tests the independent relationship between a specific social determinant of health and the probability of being in excellent or very good health when the remaining social determinants are held constant (i.e., set to the mean value). [...] The adjusted probabilities were computed by testing the relationship between a specific social determinant of health and the probability of being in excellent or very good self-reported health when the remaining variables were held constant (i.e., set to the mean value).
