Webinar: Understanding Social Determinants of Health to Advance
Cancer Health Equity: Clinical-Community Linkages
(Tuesday, May 5, 2020 @ 1:00pm - 2:00pm ET)
|
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) intersectoral action to address social determinants of health (SDOH) continues to emerge as a key approach for improving health equity. In the realm of cancer, complex and multilevel system of influences along with multiple types of determinants can contribute to individual cancer risk and the likelihood of survival following a cancer diagnosis. Collaborations and partnerships across the spectrum of health locally, regionally and nationally are needed to address cancer disparities defined by race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, geography (rural, metropolitan) as well as by low socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics including income, health insurance status, and disability.
This webinar is designed to serve as a roadmap for addressing social determinants of health to advance cancer health equity from an array of sectors (healthcare, academic, research, community-level). Examples of evidence-based interventions, best practices, and resources will be featured to assist clinicians, public health professionals and other disciplines with acquiring a greater understanding of how to apply patients’ social determinants of health for use during the a) development cancer care plans; and, b) state strategic planning process.
