The social determinants of health refer to the social and economic factors that influence an individual's health and wellbeing. These factors include income, education, employment status, access to healthcare, social support networks, and environmental conditions. Research in this area seeks to understand how these social determinants impact health outcomes and disparities in health across different populations. By identifying and addressing these factors, researchers aim to improve overall health and reduce health inequities in society.
