The March Utah Health Status Update focuses on health disparities and the social determinants of health.

This short article is a good starting point for understanding social determinants and their relationship to health disparities.
It is also the first Utah Department of Health report to utilize an innovative graphing strategy introduced to the Utah Department of Health by Dr. M. Lelinneth B. Novilla and the Social Determinants of Health Research Team at Brigham Young University.
