The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. Varying conditions of daily life across social groups and populations result in inequalities (disparities) in health status and access to health resources, such as health care. Disparities in epilepsy and epilepsy care have been identified based on such factors as socioeconomic position, race/ethnicity, or place of residence. Knowledge about the social determinants in epilepsy informs public health, health care, and community strategies to eliminate disparities and improve care and outcomes for all people living with epilepsy.
