a

Includes health equity frameworks found in Table 1.

b

SDOHs and individual factors included in the table above contribute to health disparities in the following injury topic areas: drowning, motor vehicle crashes, older adult falls, suicide, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). This does not mean that other SDOHs and individual risk factors do not contribute to health disparities in these injury topic areas; however, the SDOHs and individual factors above are the factors highlighted as influencing injury outcomes in the United States, according to CDC webpages:

c

None of the factors listed in the CDC websites for the injury topics fit under the Education Access and Quality domain; therefore, this domain is not included in the table.

d

Social determinants of health (SDOHs) and individual factors include the individual, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence the health and well-being of individuals and communities.

e

Definitions for select terms:

Power/prestige refers to an imbalance in status and opportunities between populations based on factors such as race and ethnicity, gender, income, or sexual orientation.

Safety includes injury deaths, juvenile arrests, and the general state of feeling “safe”.

Social context/environment are factors and circumstances in the broader social setting (such as exposure to community stressors or personal/life experiences) that shape behaviors, beliefs, and/or perceptions of individuals and groups of people.
