Social Determinants of Health (0.75)

Course Overview

The purpose of this presentation is to lay out how social determinants of health — including socioeconomic status, education level, access to resources, and community environment — profoundly shape athlete health, injury recovery, performance, and long-term outcomes. In this episode, Shelby Daly and Corey Oshikoya emphasize that athletic trainers should expand beyond physical metrics to consider broader contextual factors that impact patient health. Integrating these determinants into assessment, care planning, and advocacy supports more equitable, holistic clinical practices and improves communication with athletes and interdisciplinary care teams.
