Footnote: Dotted lines between the levels represent the complex interaction of determinants. Societal factors concern social, economic, cultural and environmental conditions. Community considers the characteristics of neighbourhoods, regions, schools and the workplace while relationship refers to person-to-person interactions such as social networks and family. Individual factors concern personal characteristics, genetics, lifestyle and behavioural factors.
