Healthy People Partners and SDOH

Healthy People 2030 has an increased focus on the social determinants of health (SDOH). Nationwide, our partners are focusing on SDOH, too.

Through programs, policies, and interventions, they’re working hard to improve the conditions in people’s environments. Their work helps reduce health disparities and improve health and well-being for all people.

Here are a few examples of the ways our partners are addressing SDOH.

The PhenX Social Determinants of Health Assessments Collection: This open-access resource from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities helps researchers measure “upstream” factors — like poverty and segregation — that influence health behaviors and health outcomes. The collection provides standard SDOH measures that help researchers examine SDOH across studies, with the goal of facilitating effective interventions to reduce disparities.

CDC Programs Addressing SDOH: Programs addressing SDOH across the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention span sectors and involve partnerships with communities. Examples include initiatives to prevent childhood lead poisoning, reduce health disparities related to diabetes, establish culturally tailored health interventions, and prevent youth violence.
