Communication, teamwork, and advocacy are essential to advancing population health. In this assignment, you will identify a local population experiencing a health disparity. You will then determine all social determinates of health that are impacting the population and influencing the disparity’s existence. Based on this information, you will develop a plan to address the disparity. Finally, you will determine a strategy to implement this plan that will include identifying community partners, building a team, and using leadership theory and skills that will facilitate its success.
Using the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps (CHRR) website, identify a population from your area (county) that is experiencing a health disparity.
Note: Before starting this assignment, watch “Webinar: County Health Rankings & Roadmaps 101” in this week’s Learning Activities. The webinar covers how to use the website to identify health problems by county, explains how to identify disparities, and provides numerous resource options for what works to address the disparity and local organizations to partner with.
Create a 15- to 18-slide presentation, with detailed speaker notes, outlining your strategy to address the existing health disparity to improve the health outcomes of the targeted population.
