Picture Depicting a Social Determinant Issue
An example of a social determinant issue in my community, which impacts the quality of
life and healthcare is economic stability. The picture in figure 1 below depicts this issue.
One can see a homeless person lying on the sidewalk and covered in a blanket. A lady
is passing by with trendy clothes and a smartphone as she walks past a boutique.
She appears relatively well-off financially. It is clear that out of these two individuals, the
rich woman has a better ability to afford healthcare services compared to the poor
homeless person. More so, she can afford a lifestyle that may offer a positive influence
on her health compared to the homeless individual. Hence, the economic stability of the
lady makes her predisposed to better health outcomes while the poverty of the
homeless person makes him/her predisposed to negative health outcomes.
Figure 1: Social Determinant of Health – Economic Stability
Perspective Regarding the Social Determinant Issue
According to Semega et al. (2019), “in the United States, 1 in 10 people live in poverty,
and many people cannot afford things like healthy foods, health care, and housing” (p.
1). This is because economic stability is essential to affording ideal lifestyle choices and
paying for the necessary high-quality medical services, which keep people healthy.
A person who has a well-paying and steady source of income can afford things like
housing stability and food security. These are crucial factors that facilitate optimum
living conditions. Also, he/she can have savings to cater to healthcare emergencies or
the management of chronic conditions.
In my community, individuals with steady sources of income have a lower likelihood of
living in poverty and a high chance of being healthy. However, many individuals find it
challenging to seek and keep a job. For instance, those with disabilities or chronic
conditions tend to be limited in what they can do and miss out on many job
opportunities.
Furthermore, even those who get jobs, most of them are low-paying resulting in
individuals who have limited funds to afford items required to stay healthy (Horwitz et
al., 2020). The current Covid-19 pandemic has shown how people with lower incomes
are more predisposed to getting the disease and dying from it due to reasons such as
crowded accommodation, obesity, and limited access to healthcare (Singu et al., 2020).
In this context, the role I might play in changing this social determinant in my community
is to lobby the lawmakers to come up with policies that aid low-income people in paying
for healthcare, housing, education, and food since these are factors, which can greatly
lower poverty and enhance health and overall wellbeing.
140-Character Tweet that Describes the Social Determinant of Health
Lawmakers should create policies to bridge the rich-poor divide and subsidize
healthcare costs of people from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
