The objective of the current study is to examine patterns of self-reported SDOH deficits and characterize participant health indicators and social identity across classes. Data is from a cross-sectional national study of young people who were recruited through study advertisements on social media and surveyed online. Data were collected between June 2022 and October 2023. Eligibility included (1) ages 13\u201322 years, (2) living in the United States, and (3) proficient in English. Health indicators included suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, drug overdose, perceived likelihood of living to age 35, non-suicidal self-injury, recent alcohol use, and depression. Five classes of SDOH deficits were identified:\u00a0(1) Economic Instability, (2) Low Overall SDOH Deficits, (3) High Social SDOH Deficits (adversity and discrimination), (4) High Economic SDOH Deficits, and (5) High Overall SDOH Deficits. Differences across class by health indicators and marginalized identity were found, with high proportions of gender minority and sexual minority youth in both the High Overall SDOH Deficit group and the High Social SDOH Deficit classes. Black youth were more likely to be part of the High Economic SDOH Deficits class. The findings encourage a public health approach that recognizes that improving the health of today\u2019s young people must be connected to policies that reduce poverty, improve neighborhoods, and increase access to basic goods, services, and healthcare.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph22071013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]],"date-time":"2025-06-26T11:15:23Z","timestamp":1750936523000},"page":"1013","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["The Contribution of Social and Structural Determinants of Health Deficits to Mental and Behavioral Health Among a Diverse Group of Young People"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1974-1637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kimberly J.","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Crimes Against Children Research Center, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9645-5055","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victoria","family":"Banyard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New Brunswick School of Social Work, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deirdre","family":"Colburn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Crimes Against Children Research Center, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"496","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2021.08.026","article-title":"Prevalence of depression among adolescents in the US from 2009 to 2019: Analysis of trends by sex, race\/ethnicity, and income","volume":"70","author":"Daly","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
