“Social determinants of health are factors that affect health on a population level, rather than an individual level. It is especially important that we include the needs of people with disabilities in remote, rural, and other historically marginalized areas—like the territories—when we think about health equity.“
Dr. Carol Salas Pagán, Puerto Rico UCEDD, University of Puerto Rico, San Juan, PR
