Social Science and the Social Determinants of Health

We all have different life experiences, and live in different places with different people. Our genes are not the only factor that affects our health. Our lifestyles and environment also have an impact.

In our most recent episode, host Cheryl McCloud speaks with Dr. Cheryl Clark, hospitalist in internal medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Principal Investigator for All of Us New England, and Dr. Elizabeth Sweet, Associate Professor of Anthropology at UMass Boston, about the social, environmental, and cultural factors that affect our health.
