Symplur: Social Determinants of Health

The conditions in the environment under which people are born, grow, live, work, etc., are called social determinants of health. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the non-medical factors that influence healthcare outcomes. Researchers suggest that SDOH are way more important in influencing populations' health compared to health care or lifestyle choices. Addressing Social determinants of health can be a critical factor for improving healthcare and reducing longstanding health inequities.
