Understanding and Addressing Social Determinants of Health
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are the conditions where people live, learn, work, and play that shape health risks and outcomes. These factors go beyond individual choices and have a major impact on well-being.
Economic Stability
Economic factors like income and employment affect access to essentials like housing, healthcare, and food, creating barriers to good health for those in financial hardship.
Neighborhood & Physical Environment
The environment you live in—safe, clean areas with access to green spaces and resources—can support better health, while unsafe or polluted areas contribute to poor health.
Education
Higher education levels lead to better job opportunities and healthier lifestyles. Education empowers individuals to make informed health choices.
Food
Access to healthy, affordable food is essential for preventing chronic diseases. Food insecurity is directly linked to poor health outcomes.
Community, Safety, & Social Context
Strong social connections and safe neighborhoods promote resilience and good mental health. Isolation or unsafe surroundings increase stress and health risks.
Health Care System
Access to quality healthcare is crucial for managing and preventing health issues. Limited access creates significant barriers to maintaining good health.
