Addressing Social Determinants of Health August 22nd 2023
The goal of this course is to equip public health professionals with the information and skills they need to apply a systems thinking approach in order to:
Identify upstream determinants impacting specific health outcomes
Identify shared risk factors across multiple health outcomes
Identify and select particular upstream factors which they want to target
Describe metrics by which to measure changes in upstream health determinants
Identify strategies to impact those upstream determinants
Communicate and work with partners to identify common goals
Identify and implement collective funding approaches to support innovative efforts
Assess organizational readiness or barriers to authentically engage the community in a shared risk approach
Work for the course will be completed together as a team in pairs or trios. Together, teams 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.
