Multiple studies reveal that Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) play a much larger role in patient outcome than direct care. This can be especially true when it comes to nutrition. Many people don't have healthy foods readily available to them, and food insecurity is a huge issue. This is especially true now more than ever during the worldwide pandemic we find ourselves in. This session will look at how nutrition fits into the overall Social Determinants of Health, causes of food insecurities and how it manifests in people, how COVID-19 has exasperated the situation, and what we can do about it.     

Objectives:

  • Review present day Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
  • Define food security and the nutritional correlation to SDOH
  • Understand the impacts COVID-19 has had on SDOH and food insecurity
  • Understand relationship between health disparities and food insecurity
  • Review the impacts to the US healthcare system
  • Outline various solutions available in the current marketplace
