HLTH2003 Case Study Assignment Guidelines & Questions Case Study & Reflection Assignment Guidelines and Questions Case Study 1: Jack—due Feb 9
th
@ 11:30am Background:
This purpose of this case study assignment is to provide the opportunity to use your knowledge gained throughout this course on what constitutes the social determinants of health (SDoH), and how the SDoH can relate to an individual’s and community’s health. In particular, the SDoH will be considered within the context of a community and individuals who have experienced trauma, which is a common occurrence and an important public health issue. All the social determinants of health (SDoH) are strongly interrelated. For example, discrimination may limit housing and education opportunities. Language and literacy inequities may influence health literacy, civic participation, employment, and higher education enrollment. Incarceration may influence poverty, unemployment, and civic participation. Using Newark, New Jersey, as our case study example, we will first think about a community from a SDoH framework, then move from a wider perspective to a more personal focus to see how social determinants affect the physical and mental health of individuals and families. You are encouraged to think about the range of community-level social determinant of health-based interventions that are available to support the mental health and well-being of those living within the SDoH context. Learning outcomes: Upon completion of this multi-part case study assignment, the student will be able to:
1. Recognize the symptoms of psychological trauma. 2. Assess for adverse experiences that may precede psychological trauma. 3. Analyze the relationship among psychological trauma, physical and mental health, and social determinants of health. 4. Examine the prevalence of psychological trauma in a community context. a. Analyze the social and community context of adverse experiences and psychological trauma. b. Analyze access to health and health care for those with adverse experiences and psychological trauma. c. Analyze neighborhood conditions and the built environment in relationship to adverse experiences and psychological trauma. 5. Identify how adverse experiences may contribute to health issues over the life course and adversely impact multiple generations of a family and community. 6. Discuss the institutional relationships in a community that may impact mental health and well-
being and points for improvement. 7. Develop a strategy to address social determinants of health to improve mental health and well-
being in individuals residing in a community with wide-spread psychological trauma. Instructions:
