Abstract
The environment in which a child grows and develops can greatly influence their health and well-being. Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) such as quality healthcare, education, healthy foods, economic stability, and a safe, cohesive community are integral to the optimal development of a child. In this chapter, we discuss how each SDOH impacts health and the current efforts to improve these for all children in the United States.
