1. Understanding Social Determinants of Health
Medical care and health behavior modifications alone can prevent only half of premature deaths in the US. Identifying and understanding social determinants of health, or nonmedical factors that influence health, is essential in improving health and addressing health disparities. This chapter will discuss the rationale for addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) and the physiologic pathways by which SDOH influence health outcomes.
2. Social Determinants of Health and Health Disparities
Disparities in social determinants of health are the result of larger social, political, and economic forces, including racism and socioeconomic status. This chapter focuses on the correlation between racism and the socioeconomic gradient and health disparities. This chapter also provides a brief introduction to implicit bias and strategies to mitigate the impact of bias in the healthcare setting.
3. Screening for and Addressing Social Determinants of Health
Clinicians and healthcare systems can improve the health of their patients by identifying and addressing social determinants of health within their patient populations. Clinicians will be given an overview of validated screening tools used for identifying social determinants of health. This chapter also introduces strategies such as care coordination networks and strategic partnerships for addressing social determinants of health.
