Describe the SDOH that affect the family health status. What is the impact of these SDOH on the family? Discuss why these factors are prevalent for this family.

1. Describe the SDOH that affect the family health status. What is the impact of these SDOH on the family? Discuss why these factors are prevalent for this family.
2. Based on the information gathered through the family health assessment, recommend age-appropriate screenings for each family member. Provide support and rationale for your suggestions.
3. Choose a health model to assist in creating a plan of action. Describe the model selected. Discuss the reasons why this health model is the best choice for this family. Provide rationale for your reasoning.
4. Using the model, outline the steps for a family-centered health promotion. Include strategies for communication.

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. Submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Social determinates of health (SDOH) affecting family health

Introduction

The social determinants of health (SDOH) are the social and economic conditions that affect health, including income, employment and housing. These are not just about how much money you make or how many people live in your neighborhood, but also about things like education and access to nutritious food. This research shows that family health is connected to these factors in complex ways:

Socioeconomic status

The SDOHs that relate to poverty include:

• Poverty – being in a low-income situation

• Lack of education – not having completed high school or college. A person who has earned a GED is considered educated.

• Unemployment – being out of work, but able to find employment. If someone is unemployed and eligible for social security benefits, they are still considered employed even though they don’t have a job at this time.

The SDOHs related to unemployment include:

• Poor housing conditions – living in substandard housing (elevator not working, no running water)

Education

• Education is important.

• Education can help people get better jobs, make better decisions and be more informed about their health.

Access to good nutrition and healthcare

Access to financial services

Social support networks (family members, friends) Social socioeconomic status (SES)

Access to financial services

Access to financial services is a key determinant of health. Financial services include access to credit, insurance and other services that can help people get access to health care. In many developing countries, there are limited financial services available for low-income families.

Neighborhood condition

Neighborhoods can be built to promote health and well-being. For example, neighborhoods can be designed to promote physical activity, healthy eating, and social interaction.

• The Design for Healthy Living (DfH) is a design tool that guides communities toward creating places where people are active or avoid sitting for long periods of time. DfH promotes walking as a means of transportation instead of driving cars or using public transportation. It also creates safe spaces for children who want to play outside safely without worrying about traffic congestion or other dangers they might encounter while playing on streets near busy intersections where traffic may speed up suddenly without warning due to an emergency vehicle passing by unexpectedly fast due to an accident nearby.”

Social support networks

Social support networks are a key contributor to maintaining healthy behaviors and health outcomes. For example, social support may help people with diabetes manage their disease by helping them make healthy food choices, attending classes or other educational opportunities about managing the condition, exercising more often, and getting regular medical checksupns.

Social networks also provide emotional support that can be critical in times of need: if someone in your life is going through a hard time or has suddenly lost a loved one because of illness or death—or even just needs some words of wisdom from you—your presence will make all the difference in how they feel about themselves and what they’re facing right now. It’s important not only because it helps them cope better but also because social connections help people live longer lives by reducing stress levels overall (which means less heart disease risk). So whether we’re talking about family members or friends who know each other well enough that they feel comfortable sharing personal problems with each other without feeling judged by others around them; whether those relationships involve close friends who share similar interests outside work/school activities; whether our relationship involves strangers who stop us on street corners asking us if everything is OK after hearing about someone else’s tragic news…

Takeaway:

Takeaway:

• -The importance of family health should not be underestimated. It is the foundation for every human being, and it shapes our lives from birth to death.

• -SDOH affects families in many ways and can lead to poor health outcomes for individuals, children and adults alike.

• -We need to address SDOH at all levels if we want to improve the well-being of our families!
