Social Determinants of Health and COVID 19 Q&As

A.5: Social Determinants of Health and COVID-19 Health Systems, Policy, and Management Select a group or population that often encounters health disparities. You will then identify important social determinants of health that may contribute to the health disparities in this group. Finally, you will propose a public health policy, program, intervention, or strategy aimed at reducing the impact of COVID 19 in the group or population that you have selected. Please remember that social determinants of health are often related to geography/locale. Therefore, you do not necessarily have to undertake a nationwide intervention (for example, the population could be the New Orleans or Louisiana Latino Community, which would benefit from different interventions than the San Diego Latino Community). Utilize the following two websites from Healthy People 2030 and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) respectively to help choose a social determinant of health: • • https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/social-determinants-health https://www.cdc.gov/socialdeterminants/index.htm Name: Question 1 — The Population Group Identify and briefly describe the population group. Question 2 — Healthcare Disparities and Challenges Summarize the general healthcare disparities and challenges this group faces (in approximately 4-8 sentences or bullets). Type your response here. Question 3 — Social Determinants of Health + Negative Impact List the important social determinants of health that can negatively impact this population (in approximately 3-6 sentences or bullets).

Make sure comparisons to the broader population and be sure to cite your information correctly (in approximately 4-8 sentences or bullets). Type your response here. Question 5 — Social Determinants of Health + The Case Burden Discuss how the social determinants of health that you identified above affect the case burden of COVID-19 in the population (in approximately 4-8 sentences or bullets). Type your response here. -1- Question 6 — Policy, Program, Intervention, or Strategy Proposal Propose a public health policy, program, intervention, or strategy aimed at reducing the impact of COVID-19 in this population (in approximately 400-800 words).
