Abstract
To explore how socio-environmental factors may potentially impact health outcomes across different groups of health workers (HW). Data from the California Healthy Places Index (HPI) and administrative dataset including 12,715 HWs were analyzed using analysis of variance and two-step cluster analysis to evaluate variations in socio-environmental factors across 11 HW job categories. While physicians had the highest average HPI percentiles (69th percentile) across almost all HPI components, the lower-wage HWs consistently ranked below the state average (50th percentile). Overall, the HPI percentile was lowest for environmental living conditions and pollution for all HCWs (30th percentile). The education (52nd percentile) and economic components (59th percentile) were higher than the state average. The findings from this highlight the importance of socio-environmental determinants of health-informed employee wellness programs and research studies.
