Social Determinants of Health Toolkit

The social mechanisms that affect health can be complex, and often times difficult to measure precisely. Difficulties can increase when trying to determine the direct effects of social structures on individuals because of the possible role of other variables that may intervene in the relationship, such as race or gender. Nevertheless, there are a growing number of methodologies specific to measuring the social determinants of health and research has presented several validated mechanisms to measure these determinants.
