The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines social determinants of health as "life-enhancing resources. In the realm of public health, the concept of social determinants of health (SDOH) has emerged as a crucial framework for comprehending the myriad factors that influence an individual’s well-being.
Along with these social conditions, "Gender, education, occupation, income, ethnicity, and place of residence are all closely linked to people's access to, experiences of, and benefits from health care." [1] Social determinants of disease can be attributed to broad social forces such as racism, gender inequality, poverty, violence, and war. [4]

The World Health Organization's Commission on Social Determinants of Health reported in 2008 that the SDOH factors were responsible for the bulk of diseases and injuries, and that these were the major causes of health inequities in all countries. [3] In the US, SDOH were estimated to account for 70% of avoidable mortality. [4]
Mental health, as defined by the CDC, encompasses individuals' emotional, psychological, and social well-being, while the most common mental disorders include anxiety-disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and panic disorder; depression; and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Incidence – rate of new cases of a disease occurring in a specific population within a defined time period, typically expressed per 1,000 or 100,000 individuals. Inequality in disease – disparities in the burden (distribution and impact) of infectious diseases among different population groups, often due to social determinants of health.
