Micro-Learning: Social Determinants of Health

A family’s zip code should not be the deciding factor in how healthy they are or their life outcomes. According to the Centers for Disease Control, social determinants of health are the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes, quality of life, and risks for individuals, families, and communities. In this micro-learning session, learners will define the social determinants of health, their impact on communities, and strategies to support positive well-being for others. Additionally, learners will explore ways to integrate new approaches into their daily lives to raise awareness about the social determinants of health and their influence on posterity. Social determinants of health have a deep-rooted impact on disparities and inequities across communities. Individuals need to understand the social determinants of health, how they impact families and communities, and ways to advocate for equitable resources across communities. You will receive a certificate of professional learning time after completing the learning. If continuing education or professional learning is required for licensing purposes, please reach out to your organization or institution to ensure they will accept the certificate.
