Social Determinants of Health and Environmental Strategies Webinar Series

SERIES DESCRIPTION

The aspects of life that influence a person’s health, including their likelihood of engaging in risky behavior such as substance use, are numerous and varied. They range from very immediate, personal characteristics to overarching societal trends and conditions. The social determinants of health are these larger social or environmental aspects that influence us, such as the economic status of the neighborhoods in which we live, our access to quality health care services, and the amount of discrimination we face. Implementing wide-scale environmental strategies in collaboration with other public health stakeholders is a way for prevention professionals to address these determinants. This 2-part webinar series will overview the social determinants of health, their influence on risk of substance use, and recommendations on how to address them through environmental strategies.

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This webinar will introduce and discuss the social determinants of health. It will explain which aspects have been found to be significantly linked to substance use, as well as how the social determinants of health are linked to inequity and health disparities. The webinar will provide recommendations on how prevention professionals can begin thinking about ways to address the social determinants of health and how to pursue a public health approach to prevention.
