“When it comes to health, all Americans

“When it comes to health, all Americans are not equal. If you are poor, less educated or a minority in the United States, your prospects for living a long, healthy life are significantly worse than if you are more affluent, better educated, or white” (Overcoming Obstacles to Health, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation). No time was this clearer than during the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated the health inequities and disproportionately affected people based on factors like income level, education, and skin color. Factors that contribute to the health outcomes of a population are known as the social determinants of health (SDOH). According to Healthy People 2030 (n.d.), “Social determinants of health are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks” (para. What are social determinants of health?). The existence of any disparity can be traced back to the SDOH. The focus is on identifying and understanding what impact SDOH have on specific vulnerable populations and thus in turn, overall community well-being. You will also research historical and political factors that have created the present circumstances, as well as any policy or lack of policy that contributed to the inequity. Respond to the following: How would each of the following affect health outcomes: Living in the proximity of environmental hazards Water quality Quality of schools Quality of affordable housing Frequency of violence and crime Opportunities for social interaction with neighbors Access to affordable, healthy food choices Places to walk or do other kinds of physical activities
