Associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and health are often taken as evidence for the causal impact of SES on health, but alternative explanations, including the impact of health on SES, are plausible. Studies showing the influence of parents’ SES on their children’s health provide evidence for a causal pathway from SES to health, but have limitations. <br> <br> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Health disparities researchers face tradeoffs between “rigor” and “vigor” in designing studies that demonstrate how social disadvantage becomes biologically embedded and results in poorer health. Rigorous designs aim to maximize precision in the measurement of SES and health outcomes through methods that provide the greatest control over temporal ordering and causal direction. <br> <br> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>To achieve precision, many studies use a single socioeconomic status SES predictor and single disease. However, doing so oversimplifies the multifaceted, entwined nature of social disadvantage and may overestimate the impact of that one variable and underestimate the true impact of social disadvantage on health. In addition, socioeconomic status SES effects on overall health and functioning are likely to be greater than effects on any one disease. <br> <br> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Vigorous designs aim to capture this complexity and maximize ecological validity through more complete assessment of social disadvantage and health status, but may provide less-compelling evidence of causality. Newer approaches to both measurement and analysis may enable enhanced vigor as well as rigor.

This book in particular echoes and supports themes of the upcoming WHO health policy for Europe, the European Health 2020 policy framework, underscoring the importance of SDoH, HiAP and intersectoral governance (WHO Regional Office for <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>, 2012).

However, this lack of a blueprint for health financing reforms was not meant to convey the message that “anything goes” on the path to universal health coverage. Indeed, concerns have been raised that some reforms, often implemented in the name of expanding coverage, may actually compromise equity.2 Theory and country experience yield important lessons on both promising directions and pitfalls to avoid.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'><br> Interpretation of health financing reform experience requires getting beneath commonly used labels such as “tax-funded systems” or “social health insurance”, or simply even “health insurance”, which was used as the basis for a <a href="http://bit.ly/OYTW8K"><font color=black><span style='color:black'>systematic review published in the September issue of the Bulletin</span></font></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Such labels hide more than they illuminate, as shown by emerging evidence on reforms that increase access and financial protection but are funded predominantly from general tax revenues (e.g. <st1:country-region w:st="on">Mexico</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Kyrgyzstan</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Rwanda</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Thailand</st1:place></st1:country-region>).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'><br> Deriving meaningful lessons from innovative reform experiences requires a deeper understanding of how countries have altered their funding sources, pooling arrangements, purchasing methods, and policies on benefits and patient cost-sharing.
