The social determinants of health (SDoH) impact health and lead to health disparities in a variety of complex and intersecting ways. They are the nonmedical factors that must be addressed to improve health outcomes and achieve greater health equity. The SDoH contribute to dermatologic health disparities and decreasing these disparities requires multilevel action. Part 2 of this 2-part review offers a framework that dermatologists can use to help address the SDoH both at the point of care and in the health care system at large.
