How physical environmental and sociocultural factors contribute to socioeconomic differences in health-related behaviours

NIAS Seminar

Carlijn Kamphuis studies socioeconomic inequalities in health and health-behaviours. She pays specific attention to the question how environmental circumstances –ranging from physical conditions, to sociocultural norms and values- shape health-behaviours and contribute to inequalities in health-behaviours.

Abouth the Seminar

In her seminar, Carlijn Kamphuis will start with an overview of the current evidence on physical and sociocultural environmental circumstances in relation to socioeconomic inequalities in health-behaviours in the Netherlands and other Western countries. Further, she will present the first draft of a paper she wrote during the first months at NIAS. In this paper, she takes the theory on bonding and bridging capital as starting point and explores how bridging social capital is differentially related to health-behaviours for high and low educated groups.
