Social determinants of health
Choose a current or past clinical case and write a scholarly paper that describes the relationship between a social determinant of health and a specific health outcome (e.g., childhood experiences and anxiety, or housing and asthma, income and
obesity, etc.).
Using the Introduction-Methods-Results-And-Discussion (IMRAD) format, the paper should include a description of the clinical case/medical issue/background, the relevant social determinant of health that impacts the situation, methods of searching for evidence, results of that search and any critical assessment of it, discussion
recommendations for change as demonstrated by the action/intervention of the
Registered Nurse, and systemic or health policy related recommendations.
Recommendations for change and reasons why (medical and social) should be based on three – five peer reviewed/published articles on the topic. The paper should be no more than five pages, not including cover page or references. A two-page Appendix will be allowed.
