Overview

[SDOH diagram]Social determinants of health are defined as conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.1 Social determinants are in part responsible for the unequal and avoidable differences in health status within and between communities.1

The 5 key areas of social determinants of health developed by Healthy People 2020 include: economic stability, education, social and community context, health and health care, and neighborhood and built environment. Improvements in education, a leading social determinant, are an important factor in improving the health of the nation. Increasing levels of education, including academic success and achievement, are associated with longer life expectancy, improved health and quality of life, and adoption of health-promoting behaviors like getting regular physical activity, not smoking, and going for routine checkups and recommended screenings.2 For example, high school graduation leads to lower rates of health problems and risk for incarceration, as well as enhanced financial stability during adulthood.3

Improving the conditions in which we live, learn, work, and play and the quality of our relationships will create a healthier population, society, and workforce. People with quality education, stable employment, safe homes and neighborhoods, and access to preventive services tend to be healthier throughout their lives.1
