SDOH addresses where you Live, work, eat, play, and Age

The Social Determinants of Health break into six different categories: Economic Stability, Neighborhood & Physical Environment, Education, Food, Community & Social Context, and Healthcare System. 

These six categories help understand the factors that affect an individual's health. It is important to understand these factors so that we as a community can help protect and solve our lives.

The key to using SDOH is to use the data collected to prevent these issues. According to NexisLexis: Risk Solution, “The ethical use of SDOH data is predicated on improving the health of individuals and providing the right interventions and services at the right time.”
