Socioenvironmental risk factors refer to social and environmental factors that can increase the likelihood of negative outcomes or risks for individuals or communities. These factors often interact and compound each other, leading to heightened vulnerability or susceptibility to certain health, social, or environmental risks. Research in this area focuses on understanding how factors such as poverty, discrimination, inadequate access to healthcare or education, exposure to pollution or environmental toxins, and unstable housing or food insecurity can impact individual and community well-being. Researchers investigate how these socioenvironmental risk factors contribute to disparities in health outcomes, mental health, educational attainment, and overall quality of life. By identifying and understanding socioenvironmental risk factors, researchers aim to inform policies and interventions that address these root causes and promote greater equity and resilience in communities. This research area is interdisciplinary, drawing on fields such as public health, environmental science, sociology, psychology, and urban planning to examine the complex interactions between social and environmental factors and their implications for health and well-being.
