Social Determinants of Health (SDH) is a leading global framework that considers the direct effects of an individual’s broader social environment on their health. Responding to the common understandings of SDH, contributors critically examine its shortcomings, citing that it fails to fully acknowledge systemic inequities. Social factors are often beyond a person’s control (“Nowhere to Isolate”) and are made invisible or exacerbated by forms of structural oppression (including police violence and legislative liability protection; Cadotte). SDH has also been criticized for overlooking health as a relational process.
