DESCRIPTION:

Substance misuse prevention planning crosses many disciplines. We are natural collaborators, especially when engaging in environmental strategies. As we continue to plan and work towards improving the overall wellness of the communities we serve, it is important that we understand the social determinants of health (SDOH) and how our work intersects with them. The SDOH are the conditions in the environments where 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. Join me as we examine the SDOH and how prevention professionals can use this framework in developing innovative prevention strategies.

 

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Define social determinants of health (SDOH)
  • Describe how prevention planning can be embedded into the 5 domains of SDOH
  • Identify opportunities for innovative collaboration
