- Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
- Racism as a Health Determinant
Background:
- Marginalized populations face disproportionate social needs and negative SDOH.
- Social care interventions within healthcare systems require focused research.
- Addressing systemic inequities is crucial for advancing health equity.
Conclusions:
- AHRQ can advance health equity by leveraging its influence on stakeholders.
- Focusing on the unique experiences of marginalized populations in SDOH and social care research is key.
- Systemic racism and other forms of marginalization must be actively addressed.
