Panelists will first set the stage by underscoring how the social determinants of health (SDOH) impact the mental health of diverse communities, and then move this discussion towards "next steps". What we need to do is ensure that SDOH are taken into consideration in the mental health arena. This discussion will use an interdisciplinary approach by incorporating a medical, public health and social epidemiological lens to the discussion.
