About

Economic systems were a structural driver (or determinant) of population health. This event critically examined the intersection of the US economic system and democracy and how interactions between the two shaped health. Presentations and discussion reflected on how democratizing the economic system could mitigate harmful dynamics that exacerbated poor health outcomes and health disparities. Participants also explored models and approaches that showed promise in spurring change toward a more broadly prosperous democracy and a more democratic economy that, in turn, advanced population health.

Recorded presentations:

Dr. Danielle Allen's presentation from the Economic Systems as a Structural Driver of Population Health—Democracy and Governance: Pre Workshop Webinar
We encouraged all workshop participants to watch Dr. Danielle Allen's presentation, which explored the intersection of health, the U.S. economic system, and democratic governance; the relationship between social factors and economic conditions; and more.

Dr. Kosali Simon's Presentation from the Economic Systems as a Structural Driver of Population Health—Narrative: A Workshop
We encourage all workshop participants to watch Dr. Kosali Simon's presentation, which provides an "Econ 101"-type overview before attending the workshop on February 3. This will provide pertinent background information to lay the foundation for the presentations and discussion panels that will take place during the workshop.

About

On September 18, the Roundtable held the next installment of the Elevating the Structural Drivers of Population Health Workshop series, which in 2024 was focused on Economic Systems.

This workshop built on earlier conversations about the power of narratives and explored the impact of partnerships, action, and movements needed to help build a more equitable economy—a well-being economy. Presentations and discussions explored three concepts related to different ways of partnering and finding common ground: solidarity, shared value, and movement building.
