Is your health department working to improve social determinants of health through law and policy?
On Thursday, May 22, ChangeLab Solutions and the Center for Public Health Law Research at the Temple University Beasley School of Law hosted A Roadmap for Health Departments: Using Law & Policy to Advance Social Determinants of Health, a 90-minute webinar that walks participants through the Health Department Assessment & Roadmap, a practical tool developed by ChangeLab Solutions in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The assessment and roadmap are designed to help health departments evaluate their readiness to address social determinants of health through law and policy change. Using this resource can aid health departments’ strategic planning and indicate key activities that can advance their programs, projects, and collaborations. Our presenters explain how to conduct the assessment, score it, and use the results to identify useful next steps. Watching the webinar prepares participants to use the tool in their own health department, agency, or program.
