The National Collaborative for Education to Address the Social Determinants of Health (NCEAS) was originally a HRSA-funded Academic Unit for Primary Care Training and Enhancement. The mission of the NCEAS is to prepare primary care clinicians with the expertise and leadership to address the social determinants of health (SDOH).

Educating the Patient For Safe and Equitable Care
Most health equity approaches involve education for individual patient care providers or professional development at the organizational level. These avenues are needed to propel change. However, it is also important to empower the patient toward the elimination of health disparities. This session will discuss opportunities for organizations and healthcare workers to elevate the voice of the patient for their own safe and equitable care through meaningful community engagement, access to useful information, tools, and resources, and awareness of legislation (current and proposed) that increases the agency patients have toward the elimination of SDOH and inequitable healthcare.

We Err When We Don’t “CAIRR”!
As more healthcare and public health entities incorporate social determinants of health screening processes into their workflow, there are emerging questions around HOW these screenings should be administered to avoid re-traumatization & further harm while engaging socially vulnerable communities. The Health Equity & Justice In Medicine (HEJIM) program & Equity, Justice, & Joy Lab at Wayne State University School of Medicine has developed the Cultural Humility/Compassion/Collaboration Awareness Identification Referral Relationship (C3AIRR) model as a work-in-progress to serve as an anti-racist & anti-oppression framework for engaging communities during social determinants of health screenings that center trustworthiness and trauma-informed care. The model has been well received by medical trainees, community health workers, and interprofessional community leaders, and future training modules are in development. The NCEAS session will provide an overview of the C3AIRR framework, walk through the various domains, and invite participant feedback, as well as applications to relevant contexts.
