Health Centers collect essential data elements necessary to determine social determinants of health (SDOH) considered basic needs for health and safety for populations in their community. This webinar highlights the data for these vital conditions as a framework for making decisions that can affect equity among the special and vulnerable populations in your community, especially agricultural workers. Each person’s experience is unique, and equity to address individual vulnerabilities may take many forms.
