Social Determinants of Health

Week 2: Social Determinants of Health

This week, the focus was on social determinants and how social determinants impact the quality of life and health care of a community. For this week’s discussion:

1. Explore a social determinant issue in your community that may be impacting quality of life or health care. Take a picture of this issue as it may be represented on a billboard, or like Dr. Riley, a bus stop. Upload that picture into the discussion.

2. Share your perspective about the social determinant issue with your class colleagues defining what role you might play in changing this social determinant in your community.

3. Compose a 140-character Tweet that describes what you have shared with the class. Remember Twitter only allows 140 characters so you will need to be concise. Share this Tweet in the discussion.
