The current pandemic will likely have significant negative long-term consequences on health, with the economic downturn, job losses, social and emotional effects of social distancing and sheltering, and disruption to routine health care and education. These pressures exacerbate the existing shortfall of investment in social determinants of health (SDOH). Looking ahead, finding mechanisms to unleash and efficiently mobilize SDOH investment to address the country’s outsize social needs will be even more pressing.
