Question

Social determinants of health are relatively new considerations as predictors of premature death, yet a growing body of research indicates their contribution is strong. Name a social determinant and describe a possible role for the Church in ameliorating it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Social Support and Coping Skill

Explanation:

One of the social determinants of health is Social supports and coping skills. That determinant is what kind of family and friends environment a person is in, what support they give to that person (aka how socially healthy are their relationship) and hence how that person develops coping mechanisms to deal with various scenarios. The Church could have a major role in this, giving the said person a safe place to go to, offering spiritual guidance and counseling, showing that the Church is a positive social support.
