Webinars

Join the NCCDH and CHNET-Works! for a webinar about four roles—or categories of action—that have guided Public Health organizations in their work to achieve greater health equity in their communities or regions. 

This webinar introduces a framework that can help public health staff connect with a broader range of opportunities to address the social determinants of health, no matter where they work or at what level they work.

These four roles can be used to set priorities and initiate actions that help reduce disparities:

• Assess & report
• Modify & orient interventions
• Partner with other sectors
• Participate in policy development

Our “advisors on tap” will describe how they’ve used the roles framework to guide policy making, organizational planning, and practice.  Participants will have the opportunity to consider and question how this framework can be used to promote a comprehensive and balanced approach to working on the social determinants of health. We will also explore the framework’s value in helping your organization assess areas of strength and weakness in their social determinants of health work.
