CEU Course Description

Social determinants of health apply to patients across the lifespan, with any medical conditions, and in any practice setting. Evidence shows that social determinants of health have a major impact on a person’s well-being and quality of life. For this reason, OTs and many other healthcare professionals are trained to assess the social determinants of health that pertain to each of their patients. By looking at social determinants of health in all situations, therapists are not only better equipped to understand the full scope of their patient’s health concerns, but they are also able to more effectively address those concerns. Due to the person-centered nature of our profession and OT’s focus on client factors and natural contexts to design interventions, these determinants are highly relevant. This makes it essential for therapists to understand what social determinants of health are and how they can impact OT practice.

CEU Course Objectives

1. Differentiate between the five objectives of Healthy People 2030 that most impact personal well-being and relate to the social determinants of health.
2. Categorize the types of frameworks therapists can use to address social determinants in their patients.
3. Organize the main types of OT interventions that can be used to address social determinants.
