CME Educational Objectives 1. Describe a cross-theoretical conceptualization of how community factors affect children’s health. 2. Provide examples of how community conditions affect common health concerns often faced by health professionals in the clinical setting. 3. Identify opportunities to leverage professional knowledge of community conditions and public policy to improve the health of children. What makes us healthy? Providing guidance to families regarding prevention and diagnosing and treating illness are the foundations of clinical practice. Yet medical care directed at improving and preserving the health of the individual patient accounts for only about 15% to 20% of what makes us healthy at a population level. Community factors, such as the quality of housing, safety of neighborhoods, and availability of livable-wage jobs for adults, frequently referred to as social determinants of health, account for a much larger proportion of what makes people healthy. 1
