Pick 3 social determinants of health and explain how these contribute to the increased incidence and prevalence and poor outcomes.

Access to quality healthcare is a key factor in keeping people healthy and can make all the difference when it comes to recovering from illness or injury. Lack of access not only leads to higher mortality rates but also increases the risk for chronic conditions as those without insurance may not be able to get preventive care which can help detect potential issues early on before they become more serious.

Education is another important factor that affects overall health outcomes. Those who receive a higher level of education tend to have better jobs with better pay which gives them greater access to resources like nutritious food and other necessities such as housing or transportation. Additionally, being informed about one’s health through educational programs or classes can help individuals make healthier lifestyle choices thus reducing their risk for certain illnesses or conditions.

Finally, poverty has been linked with negative outcomes for both physical and mental health due to its direct correlation with lack of access to necessary resources such as food insecurity, inadequate housing, pollution levels in neighborhoods etc., all of which increase vulnerability among populations most affected by economic disparities. By working together we can combat these issues at the root so that everyone has an equal opportunity at achieving good health regardless of income level or background.
