Infectious Diseases II

B.Social determinants of health are a key focus of Healthy People 2030: “Create social, physical, and economic

environments that promote attaining the full potential for health and well-being for all.”

C.The WHO has put forth a conceptual framework for acting on social determinants of health to reduce health

inequities and improve overall health and well-being.

D.Research has connected several social determinants of health factors with the following:

Vaccination

2HIV

Viral hepatitis

Sexually transmitted diseases

Tuberculosis

COVID-19

Many social determinants of health including poverty, physical environment, and race or ethnicity

can have a considerable effect on COVID 19 outcomes.

E.Often people in poverty have limited access to health care, must work when they are sick, and face more

stress, which can impact immunity and increase susceptibility to infection and death.

By remaining intentional about decreasing unconscious biases and seeing past medications to the individual

to identify potential barriers, pharmacists can bolster the movement toward health equity.

G.The Pharmacy Quality Alliance issued a resource guide to help pharmacists navigate social determinants of

health (https://www.pqaalliance.org/sdoh-resource-guide).
