This podcast focuses on the social determinants of health for black communities. These determinants are multifaceted and their impacts go further than normal life, with COVID-19 affecting these communities greater than others. Social determinants such as income, racism, and health promotion are the main themes of this podcast. The high prevalence of COVID-19 cases in black communities comes from a root issue that needs to be addressed and fixed in order to ensure equity for all.
