4130.0 Healthy Women, Healthy Infants: Social Determinants of Health During the Childbearing Years

Tuesday, October 30, 2012: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Oral
The social determinants of health, described by the World Health Organization as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, including the health system”, can have a profound impact on birth outcomes. It is important to examine these various social determinants and to identify modifiable risk factors that contribute to poor birth outcomes. Papers in this session will, in part, serve to further our awareness of modifiable risk factors. Identification of mutable risks and potential interventions to address these risks are important steps needed to modify the social determinants of health that directly (or indirectly) affect birth outcomes.
Session Objectives: At the end of this session, the learner will be able to be able to identify at least two social determinants of health that can negatively affect birth outcomes and/or access to care. At the end of this session, the learner will be able discuss several weaknesses at the health care system level that need to be addressed to improve birth outcomes.
