Continuing the dialogue: A rights‐approach in occupational therapy

Social and Structural Determinants of Health: Exploring Occupational Therapy's Structural (In)competence

“…Clearly, the specific rights-based approach that is required to improve health and reduce inequities in its social determinants (Marmot et al, 2012;Ottersen et al, 2014) aligns with the rights-based approach to practice advocated by international occupational therapists (e.g., Crawford, 2017;Galheigo, 2018;Gibson, 2020;Hammell, 2008;Hammell & Iwama, 2012;Hocking, 2017;London, 2008), and required by the profession's World Federation (WFOT, 2014(WFOT, , 2016(WFOT, , 2019), yet scarcely evidenced in the profession's theories or practices in the Global North.…”
