Policy Points:
- Health care systems and policymakers in the United States increasingly
use language related to social determinants of health in their strategies to improve health and control costs, but the terms used are often
misunderstood, conflated, and confused. - Greater clarity on key terms and the concepts underlying them could
advance policies and practices related to social determinants of health—
including by defining appropriate roles and limits of the health care
sector in this multisector field.
