Health equity and social determinants of health (SDOH) are essential concepts in public health, focusing on the fair distribution of health resources and opportunities. Health equity aims to ensure that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or geographic location, has a fair chance at achieving optimal health. Social determinants of health, including factors like income, education, employment, social support, and access to healthcare, play a significant role in shaping an individual's health outcomes. These factors influence not only physical well-being but also mental health, life expectancy, and overall quality of life. Addressing SDOH involves creating policies and initiatives that tackle the root causes of health disparities, ensuring that marginalized communities receive the support they need to thrive and achieve better health outcomes. A holistic approach, integrating social, economic, and environmental factors, is crucial to advancing health equity in public health strategies.
