    • Healthcare disparities are differences in health outcomes among groups of people.
    • They can be reduced by promoting healthcare equity.

    Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)

    • HEIA has five primary purposes for users:
      • Help identify potential unintended health impacts (positive or negative) of a planned policy, program, or initiative on vulnerable or marginalized groups.
