Healthy People 2020 SDOH Framework “The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels.” - World Health Organization January 23, 2015www.flhsa.org7

FLHSA’s African American and Latino Health Coalitions The 2014 editions of "What's Goin' On" and "Nuestra Salud" provide a clear view of the health of the region's African American and Latino communities and of the nature of health disparities. These reports demonstrate that "place matters" in health outcomes and that those who residing in Rochester's poorest neighborhoods experience higher rates of premature death.

HBPC Consumer Engagement Methodology Registry-generated Consumer Profile –Hypertensive Crescent Residents Facilitated Representative Consumer Engagement – 4 Focus Groups (February – May 2014) – 12 Key Informant Interviews (May – July 2014) Finding #1: It’s not awareness! Even among the very poor, the barrier to control is far less about awareness and far more about the situational and socio-economic challenges of behavioral change. Finding #2: It’s hard to be poor! Two Realities, Both Unhealthy: Either too much to do as a single parent!  Overwhelmed, exhausted, stressed, anxious, unhealthy Or TOO MUCH OF NOTHING! = Boredom + disability + no work  Depression and unhealthy negativity.
