Week 2 ProjectAssignment Due February 28 at 11:59 PMSupporting Lectures:
Refer the following lecture:
Culture and Health
Social Determinants of Health
In the United States, awareness is increasing that medical care alone cannot adequately improve health overall or reduce health disparities without also addressing where and how people live. A critical mass of relevant knowledge has accumulated by documenting associations, exploring pathways and biological mechanisms, and providing a previously unavailable scientific foundation for appreciating the role of social factors in health. At the same time, the movement insists that our differences should not have economic, social, or political consequences. All individuals are entitled to the same access to resources and opportunities regardless of their differences.
