Study theoretical propositions

Proposition 1	Leadership at multiple levels and by multiple actors is essential for public health actions to address social determinants of health and health equity [15, 25]. Hence, this type of leadership is essential for the SDH-PHN initiative.
Proposition 2	Public health leadership for health equity is context-specific [26] and is highly relational in nature [27, 28]. Hence, public health leadership that considers context and relational factors is important for the SDH-PHN initiative.
