Pillars, Policies, and Plausible Pathways Linking Digital Inclusion and Health Equity
This article in Health Affairs makes the case that digital inclusion is a “super” social determinant of health. The authors Amy Sheon and Elaine Khoong argue that digital inclusion affects health equity in two main ways. It has a direct effect by enabling access to health care services and an indirect one through social supports that also influence health. This article calls for a stronger digital equity lens on broadband policy and funding, encouraging health care stakeholders to get involved by sharing data that reveals gaps in digital health use. |
