The Public Squares Teams
The Social & Environmental Determinants of Health
Addressing the social and environmental determinants of health (SEDOH) for social justice and health equity.
The social and environmental determinants of
health (SEDOH) play a vital role in influencing health outcomes and health
disparities within and across populations. It encompasses not only the
physical, social, and economic conditions in which individuals
live, work, and play but also the nuanced system within which these factors
intersect and interact. This Public Square focuses on tackling the challenge of
SEDOH through the lens of social justice. It aims to diminish inequalities,
advance good health, and stimulate creative
innovation. By fostering collaboration and dialogue
among experts with diverse
perspectives, the public square will foster innovative and holistic solutions.
