"Population health
recognizes that the social determinants of healthcare, like poverty and
education, are the key drivers of a society's well-being. Medical care
is responsible for 15% of a society's quality of life." David Nash M.D.,
MBA, Founding Dean, Jefferson School of Population Health, Thomas
Jefferson University

In the February 2014
American Journal of Preventive Medicine article, "Population Health
Concerns During the United States’ Great Recession," authors Benjamin M.
Althouse, PhD, ScM et. al. examined "how precise health concerns changed
during the U.S. Great Recession analyzing Google search queries to
identify the concern by the query content and their prevalence by the
query volume" and found that "the specific queries with the greatest
relative excess were stomach ulcer symptoms and headache symptoms,
respectively, 228% and 193% greater than expected. Queries typically
involved symptomology (i.e., gas symptoms) and diagnostics (i.e., heart
monitor) naturally coalescing into themes. Among top themes, headache
queries were 41% ; hernia 37% ; chest pain 35% ; and arrhythmia 32%
greater than expected. Pain was common with back, gastric, joint, and
tooth foci, with the latter 19% higher. Among just the top 100, there
were roughly 205 million excess health concern queries during the Great
Recession."
