I n the United States, minoritized racial and ethnic groups and lower income adult populations consistently bear the disproportionate burden of diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. 1, 2 While investigations to uncover the reasons for these disparities continue, evidence shows that social and environmental factors account for 50–60% of health outcomes. 1 These factors contribute to disparities in healthcare and diabetes outcomes, calling for programming and interventions at various levels of influence to reduce disparities, improve health outcomes, and achieve health equity. 1, 2 While social determinants of health are neither positive nor negative, adverse social conditions, generally referred to and recognized as social risk factors, are consistently found to influence diabetes outcomes negatively. 3 Using the World Health Organization framework for social determinants of health as a guide, these adverse social conditions include both individual material circumstances such as food insecurity and housing instability, and the structural determinants of health that exist upstream of and antecedent to more intermediary social determinant factors. 4 Structural inequalities and structural racism result from power differences where discriminatory practices within institutions and systems reinforce the distribution of wealth and resources. 4, 5 Thus, structural determinants perpetuate inequalities in health through differences in economic opportunities, education, or healthcare access. 4, 5 Cross-sector collaborations focused on integrating medical and social care are critical to address structural determinants, shift to population health and value-based care, and revolutionize diabetes management and care. 1, 2 However, evidence demonstrating the impact of social and medical integration remains limited and warrants increased attention. 6 The Merck Foundation previously funded the Alliance to Reduce Disparities in Diabetes in which five grantees demonstrated that multi-level interventions to address the health system and community components of the Chronic Care Model could reduce disparities in diabetes care and outcomes. 7 Building upon that experience, the Merck Foundation created a successor program, Bridging the Gap: Reducing Disparities in Diabetes Care, that emphasized more strongly integrating medical and social care and developing sustainable financial models in collaboration with payers. Bridging the Gap funded eight urban, rural, and frontier teams, and the National Program Office based at the University of Chicago, which ran the initiative and provided technical assistance to the teams.
