摘要

Purpose of review

When suffering from illness, patients may encounter significant challenges to care, many of which are “non-medical” factors. These factors are termed social determinants (or sometimes social drivers) of health (SDOH). We aim to understand these with respect to hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

Recent findings

Health inequities and SDOH may be particularly pronounced for those with HS, a condition that disproportionately affects women, Black and Hispanic people, and those who are economically disadvantaged.

Summary

Inequities in HS may be a direct result of or are exacerbated by broad social factors such as where patients live, where they work, the economic conditions they face, the racism or sexism of the society surrounding them, or their access to social services, transportation, healthy food, and clean air and water. In this article, we review these concepts and describe the factors contributing to disparate health outcomes within the context of HS.
