Social determinants of health are the conditions where people are born, live, work, and age that impact health outcomes. These conditions include social, economic, and physical factors in environments like schools, workplaces, churches, and neighborhoods. Health is defined by the WHO as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. There are correlations between better health outcomes like lifespan and higher income, literacy rates, and lower unemployment.
People and Green Spaces: Promoting Public Health And Mental Well-Being Throug...KlausGroenholm
This document discusses how contact with nature and green spaces can promote both individual and public health outcomes. It reviews research showing the mental health benefits of ecotherapy and being in nature. The research found that, in addition to individual benefits, activities in green spaces can achieve unexpected social and community outcomes by building social connections and natural resources. This adds value for public health that has been overlooked. The document argues for more strategic and collaborative public health policies that incorporate access to nature to improve health and well-being.

This document summarizes evidence that social factors profoundly influence children's health. It notes that children are especially sensitive to social determinants, particularly in early years. Adverse early social exposures can become biologically programmed, setting off chains of risk that lead to chronic illness later in life. However, positive influences can promote better long-term health trajectories. Effectively addressing social determinants requires both direct social policies to reduce poverty and inequality, and indirect strategies that disrupt links between social risks and poor health, such as transforming child health systems to promote collaboration.
This document discusses health, medicine, and the healthcare system in the Philippines. It defines health as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. It describes the Philippine healthcare system and how it is organized from the national level down to local health centers and retained hospitals. It discusses issues like social health insurance and high out-of-pocket costs. It outlines the principles of primary healthcare from the 1978 Alma-Ata Declaration, including community participation, social determinants of health, and healthcare for all. Key elements of primary care are also defined such as health education, disease control, immunization, and access to medicines, nutrition, sanitation, and water. Health outcomes
The document discusses several approaches to understanding and addressing public health issues. It describes the ecology approach, which examines the relationships between organisms and their environments. It also outlines the health promotion approach that targets interventions at individual behaviors. Additionally, it discusses the population approach, which views social factors like wealth and status as root causes of health problems. Across approaches, the document emphasizes that health is determined by multiple interconnected factors.
Creating A Healthy Environment: The Impact of the Built Environment on Public...ElisaMendelsohn
The document discusses the relationship between the built environment and public health. It states that environmental health includes both the direct effects of environmental factors on health as well as the indirect effects through components of the built environment like housing, transportation, and land use. Examples are provided of how aspects of the built environment like lack of sidewalks and bike paths can contribute to increased risk of chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses by discouraging physical activity and impacting air quality. The document argues that public health and environmental decisions should consider health impacts and that professionals from various fields need to work together to ensure environmental decisions support public health goals.

Sharing from USAID:
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is pleased to announce the release of its “Annual Progress Report to Congress: Global Health Programs FY 2014.” The report presents a summary of USAID’s key global health accomplishments during the previous fiscal year. From improving children’s nutrition to supporting antiretroviral treatment for millions of individuals, USAID programs had a great impact in 2014.
As the largest investor in global health, USAID is leading efforts to improve and save lives worldwide. In partnership with countries, non-governmental organizations, the faith-based community, and the private sector, the Agency is reaching people with the greatest need in the most remote areas. USAID works to further President Barack Obama’s vision to end extreme poverty through its ongoing contributions to ending preventable child and maternal deaths, creating an AIDS-free generation and protecting communities from infectious diseases.
The document outlines the Global Strategy of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for 2015-2019. It identifies three goals: 1) protect and promote health and well-being of Americans through global action, 2) provide international leadership to improve global health, 3) advance U.S. interests in diplomacy, development and security through global action. Ten objectives support these goals, focusing on scientific innovation, strengthening partnerships, anticipating health changes, and deploying expertise. HHS will work with partners globally and across the U.S. government to achieve this strategy.
1) The document discusses the importance of maternal health and how it encompasses family planning, preconception, prenatal, and postnatal care in order to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
2) It notes that 289,000 women died in 2013 due to pregnancy or childbirth related causes, which are preventable with access to family planning, skilled birth attendance, and emergency obstetric care.
3) Teenage pregnancy is conceptualized as a social problem, and can be caused by factors like family disruptions, lack of sex education, and pressure to have sex without knowledge of contraception options.
This document provides an introduction to key concepts in public health including definitions, major issues, and the history of public health. It discusses how public health differs from clinical medicine by focusing on populations rather than individual patients. Public health aims to prevent disease and injury through community-level interventions and policy changes. The document also summarizes a famous case study where the physician John Snow used epidemiological methods to identify contaminated water as the source of a cholera outbreak in London in the 1850s.
Over the last century, significant progress has been made in public health and increasing life expectancy. Community health involves both individual actions and organized community efforts to promote health. The factors that influence community health include physical, social, cultural, and economic factors. Community organizing brings people together to identify common goals and implement strategies. Both personal health behaviors and herd immunity play roles in community health. Looking to the past can help communities better plan for the future. Current goals aim to attain high quality, longer lives for all through health equity, healthy environments, and healthy behaviors across all stages of life.
Health refers to the overall condition of a person's mind and body, including being free from illness, injury, or pain. The World Health Organization defines health more broadly as complete physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. Health is influenced by factors like access to healthcare, lifestyle, socioeconomic conditions, and environment. Community health examines the health characteristics of geographic areas using tools like GIS mapping to study factors that impact community well-being. Environmental health focuses on protecting human health by addressing physical, chemical, and biological factors in both the natural and built environment.
Public health social workers play a key role in delivering healthcare and promoting individual and public health. They work to reduce social, psychological, and environmental risk factors while promoting self-sufficiency. Public health social workers are employed in diverse areas and must have skills in multitasking and working with different disciplines. Both public health and social work seek to promote health through community-level efforts like disease prevention, sanitation, and access to medical services. Public health social workers focus on health promotion, prevention, and minimizing the effects of disease across micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice.
Promoting and protecting the health of vulnerable aggregatesحسين منصور
This document discusses the health needs and challenges faced by vulnerable populations including those in rural areas, those experiencing poverty and homelessness in urban areas, migrant families and seasonal workers, individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses, those with mental health issues, and individuals in correctional facilities. It outlines key characteristics, health risks, and resources for nurses to address the needs of each group. The roles of community health nurses are described, such as providing education, advocacy, and care coordination to promote health and reduce risks for these vulnerable aggregates.
The document discusses the concepts of community health nursing. It defines community as a social group determined by geographical boundaries and common interests. Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Community health nursing aims to promote and maintain the health of communities through preventive services, health education, and treatment/rehabilitation efforts coordinated with other health professionals. The document outlines characteristics of communities and factors that influence community health.
Health can be defined as physical, mental and social well-being, while illness refers to the presence of diagnosed diseases. Disease is a particular abnormal condition that negatively affects the structure or function of an organism. Health geography studies the interaction between people and the environment and how place impacts health, well-being and disease. Medical geography considers the distribution of specific diseases and human characteristics in relation to geographical features. Key approaches in health geography include the positive, social interaction, structuralist, and post-structuralist approaches, while approaches in medical geography include disease ecology, man-environment interactions, disease mapping, and associative analysis.
This document provides an overview of key concepts related to disease including definitions of disease, concepts of causation, the natural history of disease, disease classification, and concepts of control and prevention. It discusses definitions of disease from impairments in body function to social phenomena. The concepts of causation are explored from early supernatural and humoral theories to the epidemiological triad and web of causation. The natural history of disease is described through pre-pathogenesis, pathogenesis and spectrum of disease. Levels of prevention including primary, secondary and tertiary are defined. Disease control aims to reduce incidence, duration and effects while concepts like elimination and eradication are explained. The changing patterns of disease and International Classification of Diseases are also summarized
The document discusses several topics related to public health. It defines health using the WHO definition of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It defines public health as organized measures to prevent disease and promote health for entire populations. It also describes the three types of prevention as primary, secondary and tertiary. Finally, it outlines various determinants of health that can influence individuals and communities, including physical environment, social environment, genetic inheritance, health behaviors and health care.
The document discusses various biological, behavioral, socioeconomic, and environmental determinants of disease. It states that an individual's genetic makeup determined at conception can influence disease susceptibility. Lifestyle factors like smoking and alcoholism that develop through socialization also impact health. Socioeconomic conditions such as income, education, employment, and access to healthcare services are major determinants of population health. Environmental exposures both internal and external can also affect health.
Key social determinants related to cardiovascular disease include professional context, social relationships and isolation, geographic environment, and ethnicity. A longitudinal study found that social isolation early in life increases risk of cardiovascular disease and other health issues later in adulthood. Geographic location is also a determinant, as areas with more pollution and fewer green spaces see higher rates of cardiovascular disease. Ethnic minorities often experience higher rates of cardiovascular disease due to issues like lower socioeconomic status and institutional racism.
Partnership an effective approach to public healthAlexander Decker
Partnerships are an effective approach to public health that can help achieve health objectives. Effective partnerships in public health require collaboration between various partners at local, national, and international levels. This includes agencies, professionals, communities, and individuals working together in formal and informal partnerships. Partnerships allow for pooling of resources and expertise from multiple sectors to address health issues and reduce health inequalities. The types of partnerships include strategic/coordinating partnerships to set goals, facilitative partnerships to provide skills, and implementing partnerships to deliver services and programs. Local partnerships are especially important for community-based primary health care programs.
This document discusses measuring health and the social determinants of health. It defines social determinants of health as the conditions where people are born, live, work and age that are shaped by economic, social and political systems. These social determinants have the greatest impact on health and health inequities. The WHO argues that unequal distribution of power, money and resources globally and nationally are the underlying social causes of poor health and health inequities. Measuring social determinants of health and vulnerable groups is important for understanding health status and needs.
Determinants of health include socioeconomic factors, physical environment, and individual characteristics and behaviors. Socioeconomic determinants like income, education, and social status significantly impact health. Environmental factors such as air pollution, natural disasters, and lack of access to clean water and sanitation also influence health outcomes. Individual lifestyle choices and access to healthcare further determine levels of health and illness. Addressing the social and economic root causes through integrated global and national policies can help reduce health inequalities worldwide.
The document summarizes Fort Meade's efforts to establish a Community Health Promotion Team (CHPT) led by Nicole Lowry as part of the Army's Ready and Resilient Campaign. The campaign aims to build resilience in service members, families, and civilians. Lowry will coordinate prevention and public health programs.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Efrain Talamantes on culture and resilience in Latino health, past, present, and future. The presentation discusses how cultural strengths can be leveraged to improve health equity for Latinos. It outlines five strategies for making health equity a priority in healthcare organizations: making it a leader-driven priority, developing supportive structures and processes, taking actions to address social determinants of health, confronting institutional racism, and partnering with community organizations. The presentation then explores how personal experiences with language barriers, low income, and lack of resources can build qualities needed in healthcare providers today, like being bilingual and culturally competent.
Health equity is defined as the absence of unfair and avoidable health disparities between groups. Racial and ethnic healthcare disparities exist and are associated with worse health outcomes. These disparities are caused by deeper social and economic factors known as social determinants of health, such as where people live, work, and play. Achieving health equity requires addressing social inequities and ensuring all groups can attain their highest level of health.

The document discusses the determinants of health. It defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being according to the WHO. It then discusses 8 categories of health determinants: 1) biological factors like genetics, 2) behavioral and sociocultural conditions like lifestyle, 3) the environment, 4) socioeconomic conditions like income, education and occupation, 5) health services, 6) aging population, 7) gender, and 8) other factors like information, education, communication, rural development, and inter-sectoral coordination. Maintaining health requires considering both individual and external societal factors.

Social determinants of health identify ways to create physical.docxpbilly1
Social determinants of health identify ways to create physical and social environments to promote good health for all. As individual, we all deserve the opportunity to make choices to promote good health. Examples of social determinants include the availability of resources for individuals to meet their daily needs, access to healthcare services, education and social support. In an effort to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to improve their health, advances are necessary in education, childcare, housing, community planning, transportation and agriculture.
Having the ability to make health choices and having the resources available to make the healthy choices are two different concepts. While many individuals desire to live healthy lifestyle, they do not have the resources or don’t know where to find help to acquire the resources to improve their health. For individuals who live in poverty, disease is more prevalent.
The chain of communicable disease transmission is represented by a linked chain. The links in the chain represent each stage of transmission from reservoir through a portal of exit via mode of transmission to a portal of entry in a susceptible host. Modes of transmission and portals may differ, depending on the organism being transmitted. Hand washing, utilizing precautions and cleaning with appropriate disinfectants are helpful tools to decrease the transmission of diseases (Green, 2018).

Social determinants of health are conditions contributing or hindering a person’s well being or health. Conditions include where people are borne, grow, live, play, learn, worship, work and age.(Healthy people.gov.2018; WHO,n.d.a)
Available resources affect ones quality of health such as affordable housing, access to education, public safety, availability of healthy foods, toxin free environment and health services availability. Lack social determinants of health leads to disease and poor health resulting into early mortality. safe effective people centered, timely, equitable, integrated and efficient services are hallmarks of quality of health services.(WHO,2017)
The communicable disease chain model represents each link that must be present for disease to occur. These include a pathogen or a causative agent, a reservoir (human, animal or environmental source of pathogen), a portal exit from the reservoir, mode of transmission, a portal entry into a susceptible host and a susceptible host.

The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of local health departments in providing public health services. It describes how the nearly 3,000 local health departments in the US vary in size and services depending on the community needs. The core services identified by the National Public Health Performance Standards Program include monitoring health status, diagnosing and investigating diseases, informing and educating the public, developing health policies and plans, and enforcing regulations. Employees of local health departments are responsible for assessing community health needs, investigating disease outbreaks, providing health education, and ensuring access to healthcare. The Washington County Health Department in Tennessee was used as an example, outlining its mission and services such as WIC, immunizations, and health promotion programs.
This document summarizes key concepts related to social inequalities in health. It discusses health inequality versus health inequity, providing definitions and noting that inequity refers to differences that are unfair or unjust. Several theories are presented to explain the origins of health inequities, including artefact explanations, natural/social selection, materialist/structuralist explanations, and cultural/behavioral explanations. Evidence is also reviewed relating socioeconomic factors like income and education to differences in access to dental services and oral health outcomes.
The document discusses social determinants of health and provides examples and classifications. It discusses social determinants at three levels: fundamental/macro level (natural environment, macrosocial factors, inequalities), intermediate/meso level (built environment, social context), and proximate/micro level (stressors, health behavior, social integration and support). Health outcomes and well-being are affected by determinants at all levels. Social determinants include conditions where people are born, live, work, and age that impact health risks and quality of life.
Social determinants of health are conditions in the environments in.docxpbilly1
“Social determinants of health are conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2019)”. The types of conditions may be in social, economic, and physical environment. Social determinants examples are; availability of resources to meet daily needs, educational and job opportunities and access, health care services access, patient safety, social support, social norms, exposure to crime, socioeconomic conditions, residential segregation, literacy or language, mass media access, and culture. The physical determinants examples are; green space or natural environment, built environment, recreational, work sites, schools, exposure to toxic substance, physical barriers, and aesthetic elements. Settings could be pertaining to school, church, workplace, and neighborhood, any type of setting that can be considered their “place”. Healthy People 2020 established five key areas of social determinants; economic stability, education, social and community context, health and health care, neighborhood and build environment. “
“Social determinants of health are economic and social conditions that influence the health of people and communities (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014)”. The social determinants of health contribute to the development of disease. The factors may be social in nature, biological, psychosocial, behavioral, and socioeconomic. For example, genes and biology such as sex and age, health behaviors such as EtOH abuse, social environment – discrimination, income, physical environment; where a person lives and type of condition, and health services – access to health care or not having insurance. “Each person’s health is affected by the person’s behavior, which, in turn, is associated with his or her social or economic status (e.g., income, education, and marital status) and the corresponding environmental conditions (e.g., the proportion of people in a neighborhood who live below the federal poverty level [FPL] or who do not have a high school education) (Ruiguang Song, 2011)”.
The fundamental idea of what the communicable disease chain model represents is composed of three elements; infectious agent, host and environment. The infectious agent must be present for the disease to occur or developed. Examples of infectious agents are bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The host can be any susceptible organism. Examples of hosts are plants, animals, and humans. The environment are all other possible factors that promote or prohibit the disease transmission.
Examples of steps a nurse may take to break the link within communicable disease chain is by simply disrupting or interrupting the chain at any link. Examples are; correctly washing hands often, vaccinations, staying at home when ill, abiding by regulations for standard and contact isolation,.

Module 4 Discussion
Population and community health are extremely important for the well being of our population. Healthcare providers play important roles in improving population health and are also the health educators for their community. Population health is the outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group. Community health is a branch of public health which focuses on people and their role as determinants of their own and other people’s health in contrast to environmental health, which focuses on the physical environment and its impact on people’s health. All healthcare professionals can take many actions to promote population and community health. There are many ideas about actions that need to be taken to improve the health among the population in Miami and the communities within the city.
I went to Broward College for my BSN and the last class we had to take before graduate from the program was community health. The purpose of this class was to integrate us as healthcare provider in the community which allowed us to help the less fortunate people or the vulnerable population. A group of us chose to complete the class with the homeless population in Broward county. We went to the homeless shelters to provide primary care to the homeless individuals by taking their blood pressure, blood sugar, and so on. We literally had an open clinic at each of the homeless shelters. We had doctors and nurse practitioners that volunteer to provide care to them. It is extremely important for healthcare professionals to promote community health to the homeless population because it can help decrease illnesses and many diseases among them.
According to Tsai, Jenkins, & Lawton (2017), individuals who are homeless represent the most vulnerable, indigent group in the United States and thus may have great medical needs that must be addressed to prevent sicknesses and illness. A few studies have shown access to healthcare can improve the health and lives of various patient populations (Tsai et al, 2017). Lack of access to healthcare or lack of health insurance is one of the major issues in the United States. The homeless population is among the vulnerable populations that suffer more due to their lack of healthcare coverage. By volunteering to help, healthcare providers can improve their quality of life. These individuals are not able to purchase or pay for the most basic health insurance and will not be able to get any treatment without us (healthcare providers) volunteering to help at their shelters.
According to Bernstein, Meurer, Plumb, & Jackson (2015), reported rates of diabetes and hypertension in the homeless population range from 2% to 18% for diabetes and 18% to 41% for hypertension. The percentages of homeless individuals being diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension will continue to increase because they do not have access to healthcare. there is also a growing consensus that the adult home.

Social factors in health & Disease by Dr. MumuxMumux Mirani
Social factors play an important role in determining patterns of health and illness. Sociological research examines how social structures and inequalities influence health outcomes. There is an ongoing debate about the extent to which health is determined by social factors outside an individual's control, versus the degree that personal choices and actions impact health. Gender, class, age, ethnicity and other social factors correlate with different health risks. Improving social conditions like reducing poverty and inequality could help address health inequities at the population level.
