摘要：The understanding of the construct of social exclusion is intrinsically linked to social and economic inequalities. In Canada, single mothers are vulnerable to social exclusion and poor health outcomes. Using a population health approach, an exploratory study in Saskatchewan (Canada) examined links between sociodemographic characteristics, social exclusion factors and perceived health in single mothers. A stratified random sample of 375 single mothers (non-social assistant recipients- 202; social assistant recipients-163) responded to a self-administered survey (summer, 2007). Multivariate findings suggested that social and economic factors of exclusion may be linked to single mother’s poor perceived health. A significant association was found between whether or not a single mother was a social assistant recipient and perceived health. Study findings suggest public social programs may not adequately support the inclusion of single mothers in Canadian society
