The Center for HIV Identification, Prevention and Treatment Services (CHIPTS) at the University of California, Los Angeles and the Center for Strengthening Youth Prevention Paradigms (SYPP Center) of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles announce the release of a new resource titled The Role of Social Determinants of Health & HIV. This is the first publication in a series called HIV Prevention at the Structural Level.
Understanding social determinants of health is critical for effective implementation of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States. This resource provides a framework for HIV service providers and community planners to better articulate the many factors that impact HIV risk beyond the individual level.
