Note: FIVE (only five) static and designated Social Determinants of Health (SDOH).
They are:
• Economic
• Education
• Healthcare
• Environment and Built Environment
• Social
Conditions and vulnerabilities are “housed” within these categories. So, things like
stigma, trauma, food insecurity, homelessness substance use etc., are not SDOHs.
Rather, they are conditions and vulnerabilities which are created, impacted, influenced
by the Five SDOHs above.
