Data, Social Determinants, and Better Decision Making Report

The Rockefeller Foundation-Boston University 3-D Commission published the Data, Social Determinants, and Better Decision Making Report.

The report was launched  on the 76th United Nations General Assembly, with the aim of creating a common language among the social determinants of health (SDoH), data science, and decision-making, in order to improving the health of populations and addressing health disparities caused by structural inequities and exacerbated by COVID-19.

This report explores the key social and economic drivers that influence health outcomes and illustrates how data on SDoH can be integrated into decision-making processes. The report offers a set of principles and recommendations designed to support the development of a SDoH-based, data-driven approach to decision-making and foster demand for public and private investment in SDoH.
