Application Exercise
STEP 1
Group you have chosen to focus on from this module:
LGBTQ Community
STEP 2
Level of SEM
Social Determinants of Health for your chosen group
Public Policy
Public policy plays a critical role when it comes to the health for people
in the LGBTQ community. The things that I’ve seen effect disparities
for them are discrimination and marriage equality restrictions. Due to
there not being many practices or laws lead to an increase in
discrimination which can cause a negative effect on the mental and
physical health of the people.
Community
For the LGBTQ community there is a lot of discrimination that
circulates in these communities. This can lead to health disparities,
and it would also result in these individuals to not feeling like they
belong there, which can lead to issues with the persons mental
wellbeing.
Organizational
There are policies that workplaces enforce to decrease/prevent
discrimination from occurring. There are also healthcare organizations
that provide care for people in the community so they have someone
who can help them when it comes to mental and physical health. But
there are still cases of homophobia can occur which may decrease the
options that people have when it comes to seeking care or work.
Interpersonal
For interpersonal things like family or friends that have a positive effect
on the person can lead to better mental and physical health, but this
also can go the other way. If you have a weak support group they may
suffer the opposite effect of someone with a strong group.
Intrapersonal
Intrapersonal revolves a lot around the individual focusing on self-
acceptance with regards to their mental health, having proper access
to healthcare and not allowing what other people say to have a
negative effect on them
STEP 3
Pick one
level from above and describe a possible intervention to address the SEM
at that level to promote health equity for your chosen group.
I think the most important one to address is organizational, its important to educate
workers or people of acceptance of others. This would allow for people in the LGBTQ
community to have a wider access of health needs as well as chances for jobs they might
not have had due to the discrimination they would have faced.
