Community Health Worker Continuing Education Course: Poverty and Related Social Determinants of Health


More and more studies are focusing on the relationship between key demographics and quality of health. Areas such as race, ethnicity, income, education and experience with trauma are statistically shown to have an impact on access to and effective utilization of healthcare. That’s why, as a Community Health Worker (CHW), it’s important to focus on these elements as a way of improving community health in the areas that need it most. Our expert-led online course is designed for Community Health Workers and will help individuals in their critical work with low-income populations.
