Population Needs Assessment

The report is structured around the five themes which reflect the Social Determinants of Health.  The Social Determinants of Health contribute to the unfair and avoidable differences in outcomes seen across the city of Aberdeen. Social and economic factors, health behaviours, access to health services and the physical environment in which people live all contribute to shaping people’s health. Each section covers data relating to the themes as follows:

• Children, families and lifelong learning
  • Give every child the best start in life
  • Enable all children, young people and adults to maximise their capabilities and have control over their lives
• Economic stability
  • Create fair employment and good work for all
• Communities and housing
  • Create and develop healthy and sustainable places and communities
• Neighbourhood and environment
  • Pursue environmental sustainability and health equity together
• Health and Social Care
  • Ensure healthy standard of living for all
  • Strengthen the role and impact of health prevention
