This assignment is a 2–3 page summary intended to help leadership in a local health center understand how social determinants of health have contributed to a growing public health crisis in their community.
Base your summary on the following scenario:
You have been asked to orient the new supervisor of a local health center to the changing needs of a typical American community in which approximately 50 long-term patients can no longer afford necessary medical care. You may choose a name and relevant characteristics of the community based on the public health concerns and social determinants of health you have studied thus far.
For assistance in formatting your report, refer to the APA Paper Tutorial linked in
.
Using the following outline, discuss the impact of social determinants in terms of the scenario. Include all four categories:
Explain why access to health services is an important issue for today’s communities.
Identify the three elements that comprise access to health services.
Discuss specific barriers that affect a person’s health status.
Describe the leading health indicators that demonstrate the lack of access to care, using information from Healthy People 2020 (linked in Resources),.
Describe various public health interventions that have been used to address the issue.
Identify the social determinants that impact the quality of health.
Describe how increased understanding of the social determinants of health has changed or influenced public health interventions over time.
Note: Before submitting this paper, you should refer to the Guiding Questions (linked in Resources) to ensure you have addressed all of the grading criteria.
