Far from being solely an economic problem, its tendrils extend deeply into the social, political, and economic determinants of health, shaping the very fabric of well-being and contributing significantly to health inequities. This activity engages learners in a powerful experiential learning tool. By immersing participants in the realities and challenges faced by low-income individuals and families, this simulation provides a visceral understanding of how the social determinants of health \u2013 encompassing factors like access to education, stable housing and employment, nutritious food, safe environments, and equitable policy \u2013 interact to create barriers to health. Through this lens, we will explore how poverty simulations illuminate the mechanisms by which these determinants contribute to differential health outcomes across populations, thereby exacerbating health inequities and underscoring the critical role of public health in addressing the root causes of poor health.<\/p>\n Upon completing the course, participants will be prompted to submit responses to the following questions:<\/p>\n FOR QUESTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n Please contact: Email:\u00a0<\/span>Jonesmary@sc.edu\u00a0<\/a> [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Register” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][\/et_pb_tabs][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PUBLIC HEALTH INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SERIESARNOLD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTHUNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Dr. Mary Jones | Director of Workforce Development | June 2025This course is a part of the Arnold School of Public Health\u2019s Workforce Development Series.
