Summary
In this workshop presenters will describe how students use Google maps as an interactive pre-learning and in-class, collaborative activity to assess social determinants of health. Opportunities for scaffolded learning using the tool will be reviewed.
Abstract
The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) have a profound impact on health outcomes. The effects of poverty on wellness and the inequitable structures and processes inherent in today’s healthcare systems often pose invisible barriers to achieving optimal health in vulnerable populations. In the Accelerated Program for Non-Nurses, undergraduate students experience a variety of innovative, interactive learning experiences focusing on population health concepts early in the curriculum, allowing them to then apply these concepts in practice settings throughout the program. In addition, these educational opportunities can better prepare them to care for vulnerable populations after graduation. This presentation will focus on utilizing Google Maps to explore and assess social determinants of health and resources in a local community. Presenters will review teaching/learning strategies, examples for scaffolded learning, and students outcomes.
