Social Determinants of Health

There are many factors that interfere with health equity and the ability of patients to get their health care needs met. For patients with complex lives and complex health needs, these challenges are even more pronounced. These social determinants of health, such as income, education, transportation, housing, and race or ethnicity, have a powerful influence on a patient's life long before they arrive at a hospital or clinic.

This was very helpful and emotional to watch. And see how people can't even afford medication for themselves due to economic reasons.

Terrific video, highly professional, and one that deserves a wide audience. It's a pity there's only the organization credit at the end, nothing about the team that made it. Can you add that to the end-credits?

[@CenterforHealthProgress]

Thanks, John! So glad you liked it. We asked the producer, cameraman, and editor if they wanted video credit, and they passed, so that's why it's just us at the end. However, several of our staff "star" in the video as actors and actresses, and all the providers are close partners of ours. If you'd like specific information on the production team because you'd like to work with them, shoot us an email at [e-mail] and we'd be happy to share!

CCMU Thanks! I've just been in touch with one of the my students who was involved in the production, and I think he'll fill me in.

Should Follow NHS model

Australia has free universal healthcare.

Like many European and 1st World Countries. The US is really an anomaly. I don't think it even exists.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. If people let themselves go so badly, and then have all of these conditions because they did nothing to prevent them, it gets a little hard to care. I mean financial situations and access are one thing, I have compassion for that completely. But having many comorbidities that could've been at least somewhat managed by the choices of the patient is another...

Explain! but do NOT talk down to patients - ask them if they understand then explain, explain, explain! For the majority of patients are illiterate of medical terminology and may be illiterate of English as a spoken or written language...
