Aligning Public Health With a Well-Being Economy: Opportunities and Challenges in Addressing Root Causes of Health Inequities Comment on "Can a Well-Being Economy Save Us?"

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Labonté offers important critical optimism around the idea of a well-being economy, which is gaining considerable international momentum and offers a much-needed alternative to the current political economic paradigm of neoliberal capitalism and its significant social and ecological consequences. Because of its focus on systems and structures that constitute "root causes" of poor health and health inequities at the population level, a well-being economy aligns strongly with stated tenets and value commitments of public health. It thus provides an important opportunity for public health communities to engage and mobilize as a collective around this important vision. For this to happen, however, public health communities must overcome a reluctance to engage with political economy and take seriously the field's commitment to the public's health. In this commentary I reflect on these opportunities and challenges in the Canadian public health context.
