Social Epidemiology has as a major premise that health and disease distribution are determined by social interactions and collective human activities (Oakes, & Kaufman, 2006)
It requires understanding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that each society has, and knowledge of the related social and structural characteristics. Social Epidemiology seeks to understand
the influence of these factors on population health, and to understand and address the causal mechanisms relevant to health. In this way, public health benefits from the Social Epidemiology approach that provides essential data to inform policies and policy dialogues those within the health and development sectors, as well as health care, primary prevention, and the development and use of new knowledge (Krieger, 2001).
