Understandings of Health and its Determinants among Clients and Providers at an Urban Community Health Center

Abstract

The authors' aim was to explore clients' and health care providers' perceptions of health and its determinants in preparation for the development of a screening tool to assess client health determinants at a community health center through template and editing analyses of interviews with 6 health care providers and 7 clients. Participants defined health as a multidimensional state, with common themes including the ability to cope and to function according to expectations. They identified multiple interrelated factors that affect health. The findings support existing health determinant frameworks but provide greater detail about specific determinants within broad categories presented in these frameworks. The results create a foundation for the development of a screening tool to assess client health determinants.
