Socio-economic Status
Socio-economic status (SES) is a measure of an individual's or group's economic and social position in society relative to others. It is expressed in terms of income, educational attainment, occupation, and other social indicators. SES is important for understanding health disparities and inequalities, as it can influence access to resources, quality of health care, and other conditions of health. Social networks, access to health programs, and residential location can also be affected by SES. Understanding SES helps to inform public health strategies and policies that can reduce health disparities and promote equitable health outcomes.
