Abstract
Purpose of review: Exposure to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) and the development of moral injury have yet to be conceptualized as they relate to social determinants of health (SDoH).Recent Findings.In this paper, the extant literature on moral injury and SDoH is reviewed. Specific individual-level SDoH, including gender, sex, sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity, are explored relative to PMIEs and moral injury. The relationship among environmental SDoH, including childhood environment, justice involvement, and homelessness, is described.
Summary: Assessment and treatment implications are discussed, and future research directions highlighting the need for additional work addressing health inequities in moral injury are presented.

Designed for physicians and other mental health professionals, Current Treatment Options in Psychiatry offers expert reviews on the management of a range of mental health conditions, includingSchizophrenia and other psychotic disordersSubstance use disordersAnxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and related disordersMood disordersEating and other impulse control disordersPersonality disordersArticles cover a range of established and emerging treatment options across the lifespan, and their innovative, hands-on format makes them ideal for informing treatment decisions at the point of care.We accomplish this by appointing leaders in the field to serve as Section Editors in key areas. Section Editors, in turn, select the most pressing topics as well as experts to present the latest research, assess the efficacy of available treatment options, and discuss special considerations.Additionally, an international Editorial Board—representing a range of disciplines within psychiatry and psychology—ensures that the journal content includes current, emerging research and suggests articles of special interest to their country or region.
