The first recommendation to address those with low socioeconomic status would be to have more sanitation systems. They can do so by having a sanitation area at each corner of the street. By providing easy access to sanitation systems, it should promote more people to use it thus reducing the transmission of diseases. To address the problem with overcrowding, there can be more promotion on family planning and contraceptives. This would bring more awareness for people to consider if they are capable of having more children given their socioeconomic status. Promoting contraceptives are self-explanatory which would reduce the chances of unwanted pregnancy. Overall creating an effort to reduce the severity of overcrowding social determinant in disease transmission.
