Identify upstream determinants impacting specific health outcomes
Identify shared risk factors across multiple health outcomes
Describe metrics by which to measure change in upstream determinants
Identify strategies to impact upstream determinants
Communicate with partners to identify common goals and collective funding approaches
Participants will also assess organizational readiness or barriers to authentically engaging the community, applying a shared risk approach, braiding funding, and engaging in cross-program and cross-sector partnerships for upstream impact. Participants will register for this training with a partner from their organization or community. Work for the course will be completed together by the pairs. Together, these teams of 2 will take their understanding of social determinants of health to the next level as they identify actionable steps to impact the root causes resulting in poor health outcomes in their communities.
