New NHP Resources Available Linking Social Determinants of Health with Diabetes and Heart Disease

June 6, 2023June 6, 2023

The Neighborhood Health Partnerships Program recently developed new resources for our "Placing the Social Determinants of Health in Context" series. These tools provide some examples of evidence-informed linkages between diabetes and heart disease and the measures available in the NHP Sociodemographic Profile Reports (e.g., affordable housing, health insurance coverage). NHP is also in the process of developing this tool for additional topic areas (e.g., vaccinations, cancer screenings).

The suite of tools for "Placing the Social Determinants of Health in Context" can be found here.
