The U.S. playbook to address social determinants of health

This White House issued Playbook lays out an initial set of structural actions federal agencies are undertaking to break down these silos and to support equitable health outcomes by improving the social circumstances of individuals and communities. The Playbook sets the stage for agencies and organizations to re-imagine new policies and actions around SDOH, both inside and outside of government. While the Playbook is a point of departure, it does not represent a final, comprehensive strategy for addressing SDOH. The vision and coordinating actions create a scaffolding upon which entities from all segments of society can build. These initial efforts are focused on individual and community-centered interventions with actions grouped into three pillars.
