Exploring the Social Determinants of Health: This is the third in a series of homework assignments related to the disease/health condition you chose at the beginning of the semester. For this assignment, you will describe the social determinants of health for your disease topic through the process of writing a vignette about a fictitious person who has your chosen disease/health behavior. Your textbook lists 10 key categories of the social determinants of health: social status, social support or alienation, food, housing, education, work, stress, transportation, place and access to health services. For this assignment you will choose AT LEAST THREE of the social determinants of health to include in your vignette. Using the 10 key categories of the social determinants of health listed above, identify AT LEAST THREE you think are applicable to your disease. Then, write a 1-1 ½ page vignette that tells a story about a fictitious person who has the disease/health condition and the social determinants of health related to the disease/health condition that have impacted the person’s life in relation to that disease/health condition. If you are looking for inspiration, your textbook includes short vignettes related to specific diseases and public health issues at the beginning of each chapter. Important Details: • You can be creative in how you write your vignette (i.e. you can give the fictitious person a name, an occupation, a state of residence, etc.) but the specific social determinants of health that you include in your story should reflect the actual social determinants of health that are linked to your disease based on current data/research (in the US). • You must cite a source (CDC, journal article, disease related organization, your textbook, etc) that supports that the social determinant of health chosen does impact your disease/health condition. • Remember to use in text citations for any information that is not your own idea or thought. • Please cite at least TWO SOURCES and provide a reference list at the end of your vignette. • Please proofread your submission for typos and spelling errors! Assignment Rubric: Your submission – worth 30 points total – will be graded using the following rubric: Properly relevant and complete SDOH’s 10 points Creative, original content for the vignette 10 points Grammar, punctuation, spelling 5 points Works cited 5 points
