Social Determinants of Health (SDOH).
1. Read/Watch the materials provided in Instructional Material on Communication (All Week 3 Learning Materials and readings).
2. In your discussion board post, create an email that identifies the important SDOH in the population you selected in your M1 A3 DB. You can direct the email to any healthcare provider that is NOT a nurse. Make sure the discipline of the healthcare provider is clear in the email. You do not know whether the healthcare professional is or is not aware of the social determinants of health literature. Lacking this information means that the email must provide information without offending the individual. Address the following items:
Clearly identify the link between the concept of health status and social determinants of health.
Explain to the healthcare professional the social determinants of health that are relevant to the chosen country/community. Support your choices with scholarly references.
Demonstrate respect and use appropriate email etiquette (netiquette).
