What are NMDOH?
The Non-Medical Drivers of Health, or NMDOH, are conditions in the places where people live, learn, work and play that affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes.
The drivers include economic, social, behavioral and environmental factors such as access to nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities; safe housing, transportation and neighborhoods; education, job opportunities and income; air and water quality; racism, discrimination and violence; and language and literacy skills.
