Introduction
Healthy People 2030 is a project that aims to achieve high health and social outcomes within the framework of the Social Determinants of Health (SODH). These determinants include economic stability, education, health and healthcare, neighborhood and built environment, and social context and community. Accessibility to each SODH determines an individual’s ability to improve their health, social conditions, personal development, and life. These health determinants were accessible and made it easier for me to become healthy.
Economic Stability
Assessing the influence of economic stability, I want to mention my parents’ opportunities to raise me in prosperity. Without it, I would not have been able to grow up as a healthy child, eat good food, and buy it now. Getting a good education is still a privilege that is not available to many people (Social Determinants of Health, n.d.).
Education and Healthcare
I had the opportunity to go to a good school, and now my current higher education is helping me to evaluate how to manage my health (Module three: Determinants of health, n.d.). In addition, the availability of health services in my community has always helped me get timely care and necessary screening. The case of O’odham shows that a lack of monitoring can lead to a total epidemic (Finding Hope for…, n.d.). However, I could avoid this due to the power of the community.
Neighborhood and Social Environment
My neighborhood is relatively benign; however, the air quality is declining despite the greening. The neighborhood is quite loud, and this negatively affects my ability to relax despite the infrastructure. Finally, social context is the most challenging parameter because my neighborhood has many vulnerable populations. I do not belong to them, and I try to help these groups because I would have psychological health problems if I belonged to them.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I emphasize the critical importance of achieving social determinants of health because they can significantly improve the well-being and health of a population. I am fortunate to have access to a high level of Social Determinants of Health because I now have no pronounced health problems and live in a socially advantaged neighborhood. Achieving these determinants allows the community to create a comfortable environment for everyone and helps them achieve high health and personal well-being levels.
