Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are the conditions in which people are born, live, work, and age, influencing their overall well-being. Evidence-based healthcare recognizes the profound impact of SDOH on health outcomes, emphasizing the importance of addressing factors such as socioeconomic status, education, employment, social support, and access to healthcare.
Understanding and integrating SDOH into healthcare strategies enhance the precision and effectiveness of interventions. By leveraging evidence, healthcare professionals can tailor approaches to account for the diverse and interconnected factors shaping individuals' health experiences.
SDOH illuminate health disparities and guide the development of policies that aim to reduce inequities. Evidence-based consideration of SDOH not only improves patient outcomes but also contributes to a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system, ultimately fostering a society where everyone has the opportunity to attain their highest level of health.
