O n February 9th, the Community Social Planning Council of Toronto, University of Toronto’s Social Assistance in the New Economy project and the Wellesley Institute hosted a community forum on poverty and health. The forum featured the report release of Poverty is Making Us Sick: A Comprehensive Survey of Income and Health in Canada; Sick and Tired: The Compromised Health of Social Assistance Recipients and the Working Poor in Ontario, a keynote address by Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. David McKeown, and advocacy workshops on poverty and poor health.
Poverty is Making Us Sick, and the companion report, explore the most recent evidence on the relationship between income, a key social determinant of health, and important health outcomes in Canada. The two papers also examine access to and utilization of health services at different income levels.
