Poverty, housing and stigma: The profound effects of The Social Determinants of Health on addiction management

Sponsor: National Center for Health in Public Housing

In the coming years FQHC’s and PHPC’s are expected to take an increasing share of the country’s addiction management caseload. This is particularly true of health centers serving disadvantaged populations. In this webinar, join the National Center for Health in Public Housing team as they present an epidemiological perspective of addiction management with a focus on the impact of housing, poverty and historical marginalization have had on the lived experience of Residents of Public Housing and other marginalized groups. Additionally, through the lens of the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) we will examine the models, practices and care interventions which can assist FQHCs and PHPC’s in supporting addiction management programs and promoting the staff and patient experience at their organization.

Learning Objectives:

1. Present an epidemiological perspective of addiction treatment/management at FQHCs and PHPCs.

2. Examine the impacts of the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) on patients experiencing addiction.

3. Review models of care and workforce management that can maximize staff experience and reduce burnout.

4. Through the perspective of the SDOH, present models and practices to improve the patient experience in addiction treatment and support.
