Structural determinants refer to the social, economic, and political factors that influence health outcomes and disparities within populations. This research area seeks to understand how various aspects of society, such as income inequality, access to healthcare, and physical environments, impact the overall health and well-being of individuals and communities. Researchers in this field often examine how social structures and institutions contribute to health inequities and disparities, and identify potential policy interventions to address these issues. By studying structural determinants, researchers aim to uncover the root causes of health disparities and identify strategies to promote health equity and improve overall population health.
