This paper is about understanding health and how to improve health. The conditions or experiences in which we live our

lives, affect our health. These conditions, also known as Social Determinants of Health (DoH), are more important than

medical treatments or lifestyle choices in shaping our health. For example, how long we will live, whether or not we

will develop chronic diseases, or how we raise our children. It is important for the nurse to understand the health of

an individual in a broad way and in the context of these social determinants. Nurses provide interventions to help

improve a patients DoH, thus aiding in improving their health.
