In your discussion this week, you examined a few Web sites from which you can make inferences about the health status of your community. This week, you will write a brief report (3-4 pages) on the risk factors and social determinants of health that impact your community. In your report, answer the following:
What are the risk factors that promote health conditions in your community?
What are the social determinants of health in your community?
Which diseases or health conditions are most prevalent in your community?
What is the difference between social determinants of health, health disparities, and health inequities?
What are the health disparities and inequities that you have observed in your community?
What recommendations might you make to the decision or policymakers in your community to address these?
