Defining Social Determinants of Health Social Determinants of Health Why is it important to discuss what affects health and how we can improve these factors? • Health begins where we live, learn, work and play. • Health starts—long before illness—in our homes, schools and jobs. • Your opportunity for health starts long before you need medical care. The opportunity for health begins in our families, neighborhoods, schools and jobs. All Americans should have the opportunity to make the choices that allow them to live a long, healthy life, regardless of their income, education or ethnic background.
