This Prezi is my adaptation of the Healthy People 2020 social determinants of health diagram. I used a “journey” template to convey that community and culture, education, environment, economic climate are, not only interdependent factors, but they are a part of a trajectory towards access to services affecting health outcomes, primarily, quality of life. This journey begins with the community and its culture,which involves family structure, social cohesion, equality and discrimination.
The values and perceptions of this community and culture affect education. Educated people are most likely to perform healthier behaviors, are typically health literate and are proactive when making health-related decisions. Moreover, the community, culture and peoples’ ways of thinking shape the environment in which they dwell. All of those factors can either perpetuate a healthy environment or one rife with crime, violence, poverty and disease.
The fourth determinant is economic climate, which is easily determined by environment, education, and certain elements of the community and culture. For example, a place where there is high crime and where people are not educated beyond ninth grade, is less likely to have high employment rates and a thriving economy.
The journey ends with accessibility to transportation, healthy foods, healthcare and any good or service that improves quality of life. I do believe people are a product of their environment and culture, but it is ultimately that person’s decision to make the changes to better his or her quality of life.
