Social Determinants of Self-Reported Health in Vulnerable Populations During a Polycrisis in Lebanon.

In the context of a polycrisis, which is characterized by multiple interconnected and mutually reinforcing crises, humanitarian and health needs increase. It is therefore crucial to identify social determinants impacting health and well-being of vulnerable populations to better inform appropriate interventions.
