Comparing and Applying Frameworks: Lesson Plan
2018
This lesson plan is the first of four lessons in a teaching pack on the social determinants of health developed by the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University. “Social determinants of health” (SDH) are the social factors external to an individual that may not seem directly relevant to health, but that ultimately shape the conditions in which people live, work, and grow in ways that can both promote well-being and confer disease risk. This lesson introduces students to the basic concepts of SDH and two different visual frameworks for thinking about them, one by the Canadian Medical Association, and the other by public health researchers, Dahlgren and Whitehead. After discussing the two frameworks, students brainstorm together to apply each to a concrete health challenge. Other companion components in the teaching pack include an instructor’s note, teaching guide, three additional lesson plans, an annotated bibliography, and a glossary of terms. Each lesson may be taught as a standalone unit or together as a four-lesson module.
