Racial Inequities – Fruit of America’s Poisonous Tree:

A Look at the Political Determinants of Health

November 12, 2020 | 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. EDT

There’s been a surge in research supporting the social determinants of health and their role in health equity. However, in accepting that on its face, we overlook the bigger picture. The political determinants of health represent the initial improper conduct that has manifested in bushels and bushels of poisonous fruit that we see currently in the form of health inequities. This talk will introduce a new model, the political determinants of health, that focuses on their role in creating, perpetuating, and exacerbating systemic barriers for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other communities of color. This talk will also increase understanding of the interconnection between all of the determinants of health and the political determinants.
