Operational DefinitionsSocial Determinants of HealthAccording to Centers of Disease Control & Prevention, these are the complex, integrated, and overlapping social structures and economic systems that are responsible for most health inequities, also being shaped by the distribution of money, power, and resources throughout local communities, nations, and the world. According to Healthy People 2020 Approach, 5 key determinants are included :

(1) Economic Stability, (2) Education, (3) Social and Community Context, (4) Health and Health Care and (5) Neighborhood and Built Environment.Slide5

Operational DefinitionsHealth Literacy Whether a person can obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services that are needed to make suitable health decisions. A complex group of reading, listening, analytical, and decision-making skills and the ability to apply these skills to health situations

The ability to understand instructions on prescription drug bottles, appointment cards, medical education brochures, doctor's directions, and consent forms. The ability to navigate complex health care systems. Health literacy is not simply the ability to read. Slide6
