Addressing Social Determinants of Health Through One Health: Integrative Strategies for Public Health Improvement
Topic Description
This presentation explores the One Health approach by examining the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It highlights key SDOH factors, such as income inequality, education, and environmental degradation, and evaluates multidisciplinary interventions designed to address these issues. The findings emphasize the need for collaborative strategies to reduce socio-economic disparities, improve healthcare access, and enhance resilience against zoonotic and environmental health threats. Case studies illustrate successful community programs and infrastructure improvements that mitigated health disparities. The poster proposes actionable policies to strengthen public health through integrated, multi-sectoral efforts.
