Social Determinants of Health
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are non-medical variables that form our big picture of health. Where we live, work, and play influences our health and health care experiences. By considering client SDOH, audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can provide better quality care, advocate for health equity, and achieve better outcomes.
