What Role Do Social Determinants Play in Healthcare Access?
Social determinants of health, such as income, education, and employment status, significantly influence healthcare access. Individuals with higher socioeconomic status generally have better access to healthcare services. Epidemiological research emphasizes the need to address these determinants to improve access and reduce health inequalities. Interventions at the community and policy levels can help mitigate the impact of social determinants on healthcare access.
