The document discusses health equity and the social determinants of health. It defines health as physical, social and mental well-being, not just the absence of disease. Public health is defined as what society collectively does to create conditions for people to be healthy. Health is determined by factors like income, education, housing, environment and social justice. Achieving health equity requires addressing inequalities and injustices to improve health for all.

The document discusses the impact of poverty on health. It provides background on poverty and health indicators in Canada, showing that those in poverty experience higher rates of chronic disease, infant mortality, lower life expectancy, and worse mental and physical health overall. It suggests that poverty, through factors like inadequate income for nutrition and housing, is the main determinant of these health inequities. The document proposes ways for health providers to help address poverty, such as by expanding assessments of social/economic barriers patients face and connecting them to resources to improve their situations.
Race plays a significant role in health outcomes according to the document. When addressing racial equity and health, it is important to examine the structural and systemic roots of social and economic disparities. The document discusses how unconscious and institutional racism negatively impact health through policies that concentrate environmental hazards and disparities in education, incarceration rates, and access to opportunities in certain racial groups. The solution involves training on racial equity, using data to identify racial inequities, and assessing programs through a health equity lens.

This document summarizes how several state and national health foundations address health equity through their grantmaking. It finds that foundations generally focus on health equity in terms of access, quality, and outcomes. Foundations provide funding for upstream, midstream, and downstream interventions. The document examines several foundations' definitions of and approaches to health equity, including grant amounts and examples. It concludes by considering opportunities for alignment between these foundations and Families USA's approach to health equity.
Health care disparities exist between different racial and ethnic groups in the United States. The WHO defines health disparities as differences in health outcomes that are closely linked to social and economic disadvantage. There can be up to a 33 year difference in life expectancy between racial groups. Disparities are driven by social determinants like education, income, and environment. Minority groups face greater barriers to accessing quality health care due to lack of insurance, language barriers, and provider biases. Addressing disparities requires improvements in data collection, the health workforce, and policies aimed at promoting equity.
Health Care Reform and the Root causes of Health Inequities-Chicago Forum for...CookCountyPLACEMATTERS
The World Health Organization defines health equity as “the absence of unfair and avoidable or remediable differences in health services and outcomes among groups of people.” In Healthy People 2020, one of the goals set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is to “Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups.”
While health equity is on the national agenda, do recent policies and health reforms move Illinois toward health equity? The forum brought together thought leaders to discuss health reform, to what degree it works toward health equity, and whether or not we are making progress on the social determinants of health.
The event provided an opportunity to:
Learn about Seattle & King County, Washington’s Health Equity ordinance, its positive impacts, and lessons from its implementation
Explore how health departments can be effective in helping to implement effective health reform and ensure progress toward health equity
Discuss both positive aspects and shortcomings of the Affordable Care Act vis-à-vis health equity
Consider the growing role of medical-legal partnerships and how they can help address social and legal issues that negatively impact the health of low-income people
(HEPE) Introduction To Health Disparities 1antz505
Many youth leaders are compelled to do work with community based non-profit and local public health agencies as both a service learning and philanthropic component in their development as young professionals. However, despite invaluable experiential learning, students often don\'t comprehend key overarching issues such as health disparities, social determinants of health, health policy and community organizing. To address this gap and optimize their community based work, the Health Disparities Student Collaborative (HDSC), a Boston-based student group under Critical MASS for eliminating health disparities and the Center for Community Health Education Research and Service Inc. (CCHERS), developed a curriculum for students designed to broaden their perspectives while working with local public health, non-profit/community organizations and to develop their interest and ability to visualize the power of their collective voice as students and contributors to social justice work. The curriculum utilizes peer education and webinar software and covers three main topics: Current State of Health Disparities, Social Determinants of Health, and Youth Activism on Health Disparities/Social Determinants of Health. HDSC has collaborated with local partners CCHERS/Critical MASS and the Community Based Public Health Caucus (CBPHC) Youth Council to develop this comprehensive “Health Equality Peer Education” training.

This document summarizes a presentation about addressing health equity in rural communities. It discusses exploring issues of health equity and social determinants of health. It provides examples of how social factors like income, education and housing affect health outcomes. It also describes the PLACE MATTERS initiative which helps communities address social conditions that impact health and discusses challenges to addressing social determinants of health.
Public health week conference racism and healthcareAntoniette Holt
This is an older presentation from Public Health Conference in 2016, but still has some really helpful points to address racism, health disparities, and the need for health equity. There are scenarios to help encourage discussion. Also some helpful next steps.
The document discusses what social justice means, noting that it is a matter of life and death that affects people's lives and health. It states that life expectancy and health have increased in some parts of the world but failed to improve in others. Overall, social justice determines the way people live and their chances of illness and premature death.
The document discusses health disparities and poverty in rural Honduras and the work of Shoulder to Shoulder to address these issues through community partnerships. It describes the extreme poverty and lack of access to basic needs like water, food, and healthcare in Intibuca, Honduras. Shoulder to Shoulder works with local communities to identify health problems and develop sustainable solutions by understanding the social determinants of health and empowering communities to improve their own health over the long-term.
Voters are concerned about the current food system and want changes to make healthy food more affordable and accessible. They support limiting subsidies to large farms and providing incentives for sustainable farming. Messaging framing the goal of the food system as health rather than profit finds widespread agreement across all voter groups. A national survey of 1,000 voters was conducted to understand these views.
Where people live, work, learn and play has a greater impact on their health than medical care alone. Social and economic factors like income, education levels, discrimination, and neighborhood conditions influence health outcomes and lead to persistent health issues in America. However, improving social determinants like housing, schools, jobs and communities can create opportunities for healthier lives.
1. The document discusses the role of public health in addressing health inequities. It outlines strategies like using local data to build awareness, engaging stakeholders, and implementing programs and policies across sectors.
2. Research in Saskatoon found significant health disparities by income level. Surveys also showed lack of public awareness. Efforts were made to publicly release data and garner support for solutions.
3. Public health can advocate for policy changes, build community support, conduct research, and work within the health system to implement equity-focused interventions and audits.
Dr. David Williams at Belmont UniversityBelmontCHS
Racial disparities in health persist despite advances in medicine and technology. Minorities experience higher rates of illness and death than whites across many health conditions. Socioeconomic status, which is strongly linked to race, is a major determinant of health. Improving living conditions, education levels, income, and neighborhoods could help reduce health inequalities by making healthy choices easier and alleviating stress. Comprehensive social and economic policies are needed across all sectors to address fundamental causes of poor health and disparities.

Presentation delivered during the 2nd Social Oncology Forum with the theme "Social Determinants of Health in Agricultural Communities." November 10, 2013, Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet.
A presentation by Karen Nelson, MBA, MSW, RSW, of the Ottawa Hospital, made to social workers at their 2013 Annual Meeting. A very thorough overview with significant research supporting the link between Social Determinants of Health and healthcare outcomes.
This document discusses poverty and health inequities. It finds that those living in poverty experience significantly higher rates of many health issues compared to more affluent groups. For example, in Saskatoon low-income residents are over 1000% more likely to be hospitalized for diabetes or have chlamydia. A survey found most people agree the poor have worse health, and support policies to strengthen early childhood programs, increase income supplements, and expand disease prevention. The document calls on governments and communities, including faith groups, to work together using evidence-based solutions to improve conditions for daily living and reduce health inequities over time.
This document summarizes data from the CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System on prevalence of obesity among U.S. adults from 2006-2008 by race/ethnicity. It finds that non-Hispanic blacks had the highest prevalence of obesity at 35.7%, followed by Hispanics at 28.7%, and non-Hispanic whites at 23.7%. Higher prevalences were seen in the Midwest and South for non-Hispanic blacks and whites. The prevalence of obesity among Hispanics was lower in the Northeast.
The document proposes solutions to promote gender equality and empower women in India. It notes that while women make up 48.38% of the population, they lack equality. Major issues include low literacy rates, health problems, low economic participation, patriarchal societies, and domestic/sexual violence. The solutions proposed are to improve education for girls, increase economic opportunities for women, strengthen healthcare programs, promote women's political and social rights, and pass tougher laws against violence and discrimination. Implementing these comprehensive solutions could help achieve the UN's goal of gender parity and empower women in India.
Community Health Charities Introduction 2010sshwiff
The document discusses the benefits of workplace wellness programs and charitable giving campaigns. It notes that over 133 million Americans have chronic illnesses, which account for 75% of healthcare spending. Workplace wellness programs have been shown to lower medical costs by $3.27 for every dollar spent and reduce absenteeism costs by $2.73 for every dollar spent. Such programs can improve employee health and productivity while reducing employers' healthcare costs.
The document discusses the need to focus on social determinants of health rather than just clinical care. It notes that only 20% of health outcomes are driven by clinical care, while factors like social and economic conditions influence 40% of outcomes. It also provides examples of health inequities faced by various groups and outlines social determinants of health like income, education, living conditions, and discrimination in access to healthcare and social services.
This document discusses health care spending and social services spending in the United States compared to other countries. It finds that while the US spends more on health care as a percentage of GDP, it spends less on social services. Countries that spend more on social services relative to health care experience better health outcomes. Within the US, states and counties that devote a greater portion of their budgets to social services also tend to have lower rates of health issues like mortality, obesity, and mental health problems. The document advocates for increasing social services spending to improve population health.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

External
environments and
conditions that
contribute to health
or lack of health.

requires valuing everyone with focused and
ongoing societal efforts to address avoidable
inequalities, historical and contemporary
injustices, and the elimination of health
disparities and health care disparities

11. Structural inequities
• Structures or systems of society — such as finance, housing,
transportation, education, social opportunities, etc. — that are
structured in such a way that they benefit one population
unfairly (whether intended or not).
12. Who’s affected by structural
inequities in Minnesota?
• American Indians
• African Americans
• Children
• Persons with mental health
challenges
• LGBTQ
• Immigrants
• Refugees
• Asian-Pacific Islanders
• Hispanics/Latinos
• Rural Minnesotans
• Women
• Older Minnesotans
• Persons with disabilities
• And more…
13. Health equity and structural
racism:
• Structural racism is the normalization of an array of dynamics
— historical, cultural, institutional and interpersonal — that
routinely advantage white people while producing cumulative
and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color and
American Indians.
14. Health inequities in Minnesota are
significant and persistent, especially
by race:
In Minnesota, an African American or
Native American infant has more than
twice the chance of dying in the first
year of life as a white baby.

42. Public Health
“Public health is what we, as a
society, do collectively to assure
the conditions in which (all) people
can be healthy.”
Institute of Medicine (1988), Future of Public Health
43. A community effort
•Health – and health equity - are
created in the community by people
working together to create just
economic, social and environmental
conditions that promote health.
44. Everyone needs:
• Access to economic and educational opportunities
(high school graduation, access to jobs,
transportation, etc.)…
• The capacity to make decisions and effect change for
ourselves, our families and our communities
(empowerment of women, community self-
governance, opportunities for civic participation,
etc.)…
45. Everyone needs (cont’d)…
• Social and environmental safety in the
places we live, learn, work, worship and play
(housing conditions, crime rates, school
climate, social norms and attitudes, etc.) and
• Culturally-competent and appropriate
services when the need arises (access to
health care, mental health care, financial
assistance, etc.)
46. What needs to be done
• Achieving health equity and eliminating health
disparities requires valuing everyone and
making intentional, consistent efforts to
address avoidable systematic inequalities,
historical and contemporary injustices.
47. To create change
• Public understanding – of what creates health
• Public agenda – create expectation that we
can and will address these conditions
• Public/political will – to make tough choices-
accountability for policies, programs
48. Our Approach
• Continue to support BER’s work to factor in health in all policies
• Building the capacity of our staff to understand and address health
equity
• Management team taking the Intercultural Development Inventory
• Breaking down silos and asking questions
• Thinking creatively on funding
• Health equity work does not fit the traditional public health funding model
• Collaborating
• Expanding our collaborative work within BER to address health equity
• Developing new relationship in the community
• Strengthening existing relationships
• Sharing data on health equity
• Acknowledging solution will be collaboratively developed and
implemented
• Being patient
