Determinants of Health (graded)
What makes some healthy and others ill? Healthy People 2020 identifies five Determinants of Health that influence the health of individuals and populations. Healthy
People 2020 describes them this way as “a range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status are known as determinants of
health” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2014, About Determinants of Health, para 1.
Determinants fall into five categories, including: a) policy making, b) social factors, c) health services, d) individual behavior, and e) biology and genetics.
Go to the “Determinants of Health” link http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/about/foundation-health-measures/Determinants-of-Health and click on each determinant to
read about all of the determinants.
Choose one of the five determinants. In your posting, describe this determinant and its importance.

Caring for Vulnerable Populations (graded)
Review the Week 3 Case Study that is found in Doc Sharing. This case study focuses on a vulnerable young woman who is facing many risk factors.
Discuss several risk factors that may impact health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
Assurance is one of the three core functions of public health. Find a resource in your community (other than WIC) that could assist Mary during her pregnancy. Start by
searching the internet for your local health department’s website. What services do they provide for pregnant women, those living in poverty, or those with mental health
concerns? What about your local welfare office? Do they provide prenatal or mental health services? Are there any service organizations, crisis pregnancy centers, or
churches providing help for pregnant women or those experiencing mental health concerns? (The Internet, your local newspaper, and the telephone book may also help
you locate resources)
Briefly describe the types of services that you found.
