274991 Putting the Life Course Perspective into Practice in Departments of HealthWednesday, October 31, 2012
: 12:50 PM - 1:10 PM
State and local public health leaders have important opportunities to use the life course perspective to impact social determinants and increase health equity. The mission of the Child, Adolescent and Family Health Bureau of the Boston Public Health Commission is to address the public health needs of children, youth and families whose health is most affected by social inequities. This presentation will discuss: a) how Boston is putting the life course perspective into practice in local public health; and b) how other state and local health departments can take action to address health conditions, social determinants, adverse childhood events, racism, and other factors that have lifelong impact on health and well-being.
