This introductory workshop focuses on the interplay between race-based health inequities, social determinants of health, and the underdevelopment of communities of color. Health disparities refer to the disproportionate health outcomes between white and black and brown populations, while health inequities emphasize the underlying injustices and systemic exploitation driving these differences. In this workshop, we will explore three interrelated questions:
1. Is there a link between the physical and social conditions of underdeveloped neighborhoods and adverse health outcomes?
2. How do social determinants of health contribute to producing adverse health outcomes, particularly those that persist across generations?
3. To what extent do neighborhood-level conditions explain race-based health inequities?
Through these questions, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how neighborhood conditions shape health outcomes and contribute to broader patterns of inequity.
