Abstract

Inclusion health refers to efforts to address profound health inequalities experienced by people facing social exclusion. People who experience social exclusion (e.g. people affected by homelessness, criminal justice involvement and/or sex work) experience very poor health outcomes. Outcomes for chronic respiratory conditions have been studied less than those for infectious diseases, but available evidence suggests very large inequalities between people affected by social exclusion and the rest of the population. Policies and interventions are required to prevent social exclusion in the first place, undo social exclusion for people who are experiencing it, and mitigate its adverse health impacts through healthcare and other services.
