Module 3

This module supports the defining and applying Indigenous Social Determinants of Health (ISDOH) to public health and health-related work. The activities provide attendees with an opportunity to identify and describe ISDOH in their own community.

At the end of this module, attendees will be able to:

• Define the term Indigenous Social Determinants of Health (ISDOH)
• Connect the ISDOH factors with specific American Indian and Alaska Native communities
• Recognize that an ISDOH framework can address unique cultural and contextual needs and present their effect on health and wellness for American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
• Describe how to use an ISDOH framework to conduct assessment, develop programs, and advocate for policies (tribal, county, state, federal).
