The places where we live, work, learn, and play are bridges to our health.
Social determinants of health include factors like socioeconomic status, education, neighborhood, and physical environment, employment, and social support networks, as well as access to health care. Addressing these factors of health is important for improving health and reducing longstanding disparities in health and health care.
