Behavioral Drivers of Health (BDoH) refer to the actions, habits, and lifestyle choices individuals make that significantly influence their overall health and well-being.
Using BDoH as a framework, LIVE TULA empowers members to take control of their health through a personalized journey that combines accessible, evidence-based, and technology-driven tools with the power of human connection.
Beginning with a proprietary intake process, LIVE TULA uncovers individual motivations, enabling members to develop realistic and sustainable health goals. Through the BDoH lens, LIVE TULA examines how accountability influences health behaviors and helps members consider what they can—and cannot—control.
From Social Determinants to Behavioral Drivers
While still sometimes referred to as Social Determinants of Health, emerging research has prompted a shift toward using the term “drivers” to emphasize the role of individual agency and personal behavior in shaping health outcomes. Social Drivers of Health (SDoH) refer to the strengths, challenges, and barriers that influence the health and well-being of individuals and communities. LIVE TULA takes a deeper look at the “behaviors” within this context through the lens of BDoH.
BDoH examines its 5 behavioral drivers in the same way that SDoH examines its 5 domains, using a similar framework to focus on creating sustainable health through behavior-driven strategies.
The 5 Research-Based SDoH Domains:
- Economic Stability
- Education Access and Quality
- Health Care Access and Quality
- Neighborhood and Built Environment
- Social and Community Context
