A strategy to address social determinants of health involves creating patient education materials that are culturally competent. Culturally competent materials consider the cultural, linguistic, and literacy needs of the patient population, making the information accessible and relevant. This approach helps to bridge gaps in understanding and engagement, which are often influenced by social determinants such as education, income, and cultural background.
* Launch a community campaign to promote influenza vaccines (A): While important for public health, this is not directly focused on social determinants of health.
* Identify high-risk patients with high-cost medications (B): This is more related to cost management and clinical care than addressing social determinants.
* Implement a standard questionnaire for pediatric lead screening (D): This addresses a specific health issue but does not broadly address social determinants of health.
