October 9th, Social determinants of health

Dear all

While we hope you are enjoying the fall break, here are some instructions for the session next week where the topic is 'social determinants of health'. 

In your preparations, please consider the following questions: 

1. What are social determinants of health? How are these different from other types of health indicators?
2. What are the implications of social determinants of health in how we approach development of health information systems? In relation to this question, please read Larsen et al (2018) thoroughly and see if you can identify any limitations in the approach apply here to detect risk of developing lifestyle-related disease through a data-driven approach.  

Kind regards, 
Troels
