The COVID-19 pandemic popularized telemedicine for many medical systems around the world. Although it came with many advantages for some individuals, it created challenges for other populations, particularly patients with skin of color and minority populations (largely comprised of patients with skin of color). The social determinants of health (SODH) are defined as individuals' living, working, and learning circumstances that can affect their health and quality of life.
COVID-19 大流行使全球许多医疗系统普及了远程医疗。虽然它给一些人带来了许多好处,但也给其他人群带来了挑战,特别是有色人种和少数民族(主要由有色人种患者组成)患者。健康的社会决定因素(SODH)被定义为个体的生活、工作和学习环境,这些环境会影响他们的健康和生活质量。
