Select a health issue and provide a succinct summary of the issue from a social determinants framework. You can work independently or in pairs. Post your topic on the discussion link.
What’s the nature of and magnitude of the problem?
Is it tuberculosis? HIV? How bad is it?
What groups are most affected?
Is it poor people, or better off people? Consider region, urban vs. rural, race/ethnicity, education.
What are the risk factors and related social determinants?
Why do people get this particular problem?
Are they getting tuberculosis because they have a genetic predisposition?
Or are they getting TB because they are exposed to someone who had it? Are they’re living in crowded
circumstances and they’re poor, malnourished and more likely to succumb to tuberculosis than others are?
What are the health, social and economic consequences? Or put another way, “Why should we care about
this?”
What can be done?
