The public's view on how poverty and health are related will influence support for different policies and programs. The purpose of this study was to examine public perceptions of the relationship between poverty and health and to identify demographic variables that predict support for the four explanations of the relationship between poverty and health (artifact, drift, behavioural, and structural) first identified in the Black Report in the United Kingdom. A telephone survey of a representative sample of Albertans (N = 1,216) was conducted. The majority of respondents believed that poverty leads to poor health. The explanation that health is influenced by the context in which individuals live (structural) received the most support. Demographic variables (sex, age, education, occupation, income, residence, conservatism) explained less than 10% of the variance for each of the four explanations, with conservatism the most consistent predictor.
公众对于贫困与健康之间关系的看法将影响对不同政策和项目的支持。本研究的目的是调查公众对贫困与健康关系的认知，并确定人口统计学变量，这些变量能够预测对英国《布莱克报告》首次提出的贫困与健康关系的四种解释（人为因素、社会流动、行为因素和结构因素）的支持情况。我们对艾伯塔省具有代表性的样本（N = 1216）进行了电话调查。大多数受访者认为贫困会导致健康状况不佳。认为健康受个体生活环境影响（结构因素）这一解释得到的支持最多。人口统计学变量（性别、年龄、教育程度、职业、收入、居住地区、保守主义倾向）对这四种解释中每一种的方差解释率均低于10%，其中保守主义倾向是最一致的预测因素。
