2,407); (b) the collective impact of these multiple stressors on PD and the extent to which the co-occurrence of stressors demonstrated a stepped relationship with PD. Social determinants included subjective poverty, perceived income adequacy, material deprivation indices, social trust, trust in institutions, perceived discrimination, loneliness, and indicators for the quality of the neighborhood environment. Bivariate analysis was used to assess associations between economic, social-relational, and environmental stressors with PD. Hierarchical linear regressions, estimated to predict PD, showed that the social determinants shaped PD in young adulthood, with each stressor domain making a distinct contribution to explaining PD. Subjective poverty, material deprivation, and loneliness were particularly detrimental. Social determinants were additive, constituting cumulative stressors that convey increased risk for young adults' mental well-being. The findings suggest that health inequality can be reduced by directly addressing its social determinants. Although important, improved access to social and mental health services alone is unlikely to relieve the burden of PD and its adverse consequences both for individual suffering and at the national level. Broader and combined policy measures are required to combat poverty and deprivation, discrimination, lack of trust, and loneliness. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
