Terminology of SDoH. Across the top of the figure, SDoH and other factors combine to influence individual health outcomes. These outcomes, summed across the individuals, make up the health of the population. SDoH can be positive or adverse; adverse SDoH include both social risk (specific adverse social conditions associated with poor health) and social need (individual preferences and priorities regarding assistance). Both social risk and social need can be used to inform care and target assistance. Abbreviation: SDoH—social determinants of health
