The World Health Organization and the Department of Health and Human Service’s Healthy People 2020 define social determinants of health as the complex, integrated, and overlapping social structures and economic systems that are responsible for most health inequities. These social structures and economic systems include the social environment, physical environment, health services, and structural and societal factors. Social determinants of health are shaped by the distribution of money, power, and resources throughout local communities, nations, and the world. This program will address social determinants of health including racial and income related inequity. The presenter will review the role of stress related to social determinants and the impact of adverse childhood experiences on health and wellbeing. Strategies to address social determinants of health will be examined.
