Course Overview

Being healthy is about more than seeing a doctor or personal health behaviors. Access to clinical care actually accounts for only 10-20% of a person's overall health. The rest is shaped by external conditions - where they live and work, how much money they make, or their position in the community. Explore the social determinants of health and their impact on health outcomes in this short course. 

Learning Objectives: 

  • Define the social determinants of health;
  • Give examples of ways social determinants of health contribute to disparities in health outcomes;
  • Identify strategies to improve systems and policies that affect social determinants of health. 

Target Audience: Public health professionals, health department staff, clinicians
