  • Title: “Addressing Social Determinants of Health through Informatics: A Critical Analysis of the Role of Technology in Promoting Health Equity” The Impact of Digital Inclusion and Broadband Access on Social Determinants of Health and Healthcare Technologies Introduction: The concept of social determinants of health (SDOH) recognizes that a person’s health is influenced by various factors outside of their control

    Introduction: Use Walden White paper or the CDC
    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2022), “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… SDOH are one of three priority areas for Healthy People 2030, along with health equity and health literacy. Healthy People 2030 sets data-driven national objectives in five key areas of SDOH: healthcare access and quality, education access and quality, social and community context, economic stability, and neighborhood and built environment. Some examples of SDOH included in Healthy People 2030 are safe housing, transportation, and neighborhoods; polluted air and water; and access to nutritious foods and physical health opportunities”.
