Assignment Content Social determinants of health (SDOH) have been shown to drive

    Assignment Content
    Social determinants of health (SDOH) have been shown to drive up to 80% of health outcome for patients (RWJF, 2019). Learning about SDOH will help prepare you to understand the most common SDOH in your community, which will then help prepare you to advocate for patients and community members to minimize and potentially eliminate any health disparities that result from the SDOH.
    Access The National Equity Atlas.
    Note: From the main page, you can click Start Here at the top of the page and you will be taken to Getting Started with the National Equity Atlas. This will provide you with instructions on how to use the National Equity Atlas.
    Research social determinants of health indicators from at least 3 cities or states, one being the city or state where you live. Click Indicators on top of any page and you will be taken to indicators used in the atlas (demographics, economic vitality, readiness, connectedness, and economic benefits).
    Compare and contrast the following for each city or state: Indicator Group: Demographics
    Race/ethnicity
    Geography type: City or state
    Your city or state of residence
    Repeat a-c for 2 other cities or states
    Indicator Group: Demographics
    Population growth
    Geography type: City or state

    Indicator Group: Connectedness Neighborhood poverty
    Geography type: City or state

    You will submit two parts for this assignment: Part 1
    Organize your research in a table/chart comparing the city or state where you live and the 2 selected cities or states for each of the 5 areas above.
    Using the National Equity Atlas information, investigate the following for each of the 5 indicators: Insight and analyses of each indicator
    How each of the indicators can be a driver of inequity
    Strategies to help grow an equitable economy Part 2
    Create a 1-page infographic that includes:
    The information from your table/chart
    A brief section addressing likely causes of the differences in SDOH in the 3 cities or states and how cities or states with higher poverty/inequity can use other cities’ or states’ information to improve their own health equity.
    Note: If you need help creating an infographic, watch “How to Make an Infographic in 5 Steps” in this week’s Learning Activities folder. The National Equity Atlas also provides instructions on how to visually display data under the Lab dropdown at the top of the site. Begin with Starter Viz followed by Data Viz Tools and then Tableau-Ready Data.
    Cite at least 4 scholarly sources, one of which can be Policy & Politics in Nursing and Health Care.
    Format your sources according to APA 7th ed. guidelines.
    Submit both parts (table and infographic) of your assignment.
