DIRECTIONS:Explain the importance of a healthy community as it relates to successful childbearing/childrearing.
Each virtual clinical group will choose a “community”.
This is an obstetrics and pediatric focus paper. The project must speak to how social determinants of health and health disparities affect the health and well-being of the maternal-child population.
As a group, do a survey of the “community” using the objectives of this experience and rubric as your guide.
The student will search the data bases of NYS DOH, NYC DOH And CDC websites for factors that contribute to health disparities and accessibility to healthcare, determine a cause and compile a report for submission during the final week of this course (see Rubric)
As a group, your report will be a written report of the survey to your instructor. Use the Learning Outcomes as your guide to structure your report (See rubric)
Discuss your experiences in searching specific neighborhoods and your findings.
