Social Determinants of Health & Health Education: An Annotated Bibliography
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the environment in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age (World Health Organization, 2017), including the factors that significantly influence the course of one’s health (Lewis, 2020). Some examples of SDOH include housing, employment, food security, education (Trust for America’s Health, 2020), transportation systems (Lewis, 2020), discrimination (Health Affairs Blog, 2020), loneliness and social isolation (The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2020).
