Health Disparities
Health disparities are preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or in opportunities to achieve optimal health experienced by socially disadvantaged racial, ethnic, and other population groups, and communities.
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
Health Equity
Health equity is the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health.
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
Social Determinants of Health
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life, including economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, racism, climate change, and political systems.
