Social Determinants of Health Dashboard
The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people live, learn, work, and play. These conditions can include factors such as socioeconomic status, education, the physical environment, employment, social support networks, and access to health care.
Social determinants have a large impact on health and well-being. While DuPage County is doing well overall, it is important to note that not all populations and communities within the county are living under the same conditions. In order to achieve health equity, where everyone has the opportunity to reach optimal health and well-being, the social determinants of health must be addressed through both county-wide approaches and by targeting resources towards communities or populations with the greatest need.
