Assuring conditions for health equity requires attention to social determinants of health (SDH). The WHO conceptual framework for action on social determinants outlines three levels of determinants that interact to affect equity in health and well-being. Discuss these levels of determinants and what they each influence

The three determinants are:

a . Structural drivers (taxation, environmental protections, and policies; governance; societal norms)
b. Social position and stratification determinants (social class, race/ethnicity, education, income)
c. Intermediary determinants (material circumstances, behaviors, and biological factors; psychosocial factors; health care system)
