Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the non-medical, environmental conditions where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that significantly affect health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes. These factors, including economic stability, education, and neighborhood, shape health inequities and risks, often driving disparities in health outcomes.
Key areas of SDOH (often categorized into five domains by Healthy People 2030) include:
Economic Stability: Employment, income, expenses, debt, medical bills, and support.
Education Access and Quality: Early childhood development, enrollment in higher education, high school graduation, and language/literacy.
Health Care Access and Quality: Access to health care, access to primary care, and health literacy.
Neighborhood and Built Environment: Access to foods that support healthy eating, quality of housing, environmental conditions, crime, and violence.
Social and Community Context: Civic participation, discrimination, incarceration, and social cohesion.
These factors are shaped by broader forces like policies, social norms, and systems, and they heavily influence a person's risk of disease, injury, and death.
