Diverse Voices: Social Determinants and Uptake of Infectious Disease Control Measures
Date and Time
– September 28, 2023, 04:00 PM EDTVirtual only.
The September 2023 session of Diverse Voices: Intersectionality and the Health of Women is titled "Social Determinants and Uptake of Infectious Disease Control Measures". The session will feature presentations by Drs. Guilamo-Ramos and Nydegger. Dr. Vincent Guilamo-Ramos will provide an overview of health inequity among women in the U.S. and will integrate the eight principles of social determinants of health (SDOH) mechanisms into one applied framework. The Center for Latino Adolescent and Family Health (CLAFH) framework serves as a roadmap for nurse educators, practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders designing programs to mitigate harmful SDOH and bolster strength-based resilience factors that set communities up to thrive despite structural adversity.
Dr. Liesl Nydegger will share her work on pairing HIV and STI self-testing with an intervention designed to increase motivation and overcome barriers through early detection and linkage to care. Session attendees will learn about adaptation of interventions for digital implementation, scalable and sustainable methods to decrease spread and subsequent disparities, and the importance of community-engaged structural intervention strategies in areas affected by adverse social determinants of health.
