In April 2020, The Rockefeller Foundation and Boston University School of Public Health launched the Commission on Health Determinants, Data, and Decision-Making (3-D Commission) with the aim of creating a common language among social determinants of health (SDoH), data science, and decision-making toward the end of improving the health of populations and addressing health disparities caused by structural inequities and exacerbated by COVID-19. This report—an output of more than a year of discussion and research among a multisectoral group of experts representing academia, the private sector, civil society, and government—explores the key social and economic drivers that influence health outcomes and illustrates how data on SDoH can be integrated into decision-making processes. The report offers a set of principles and recommendations designed to support the development of a SDoH-based, data-driven approach to decision-making and foster demand for public and private investment in SDoH.
