Social Determinants of Health: Impact on Community Epidemiology
Received Date: May 02, 2024 / Published Date: May 29, 2024
Abstract
Social determinants of health (SDOH) encompass the various socio-economic, environmental, and cultural factors that influence individuals' health outcomes. These determinants play a crucial role in shaping community epidemiology, affecting the incidence, prevalence, and distribution of diseases. This article examines the impact of SDOH on community health, highlighting key determinants such as income, education, housing, and access to healthcare. By analyzing how these factors contribute to health disparities, we aim to underscore the importance of addressing SDOH in public health strategies. The discussion emphasizes the need for multi-sectoral collaboration and policy interventions to mitigate the adverse effects of SDOH and promote health equity.
