Understanding the Ground: Social Determinants of Health in Rural Populations

A free webinar from the Rural Health Research Gateway on Nov. 17, 2020.

Social determinants of health are defined by the World Health Organization as "the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age." For rural populations, many of these elements are less favorable than within urban areas. Building on work conducted by the Rural and Minority Health Research Center, this presentation will review some of the key elements associated with health across rural White and minority populations, such as education, income, and health facility availability.
