Track Description: The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) track features thirteen presentations addressing four SDOH elements: health equity, LGBTQ education, trauma, and mental health and housing. Social Determinants of Health are the conditions where people are born, live, work, and socialize that are shaped by resources, money, and power which promote health inequities and impact the overall health of individuals and communities. This track will explore SDOH within the context of these four elements and identify how organizations, public health programs, health departments, and providers can assess and respond in order to address client needs to impact overall health and wellness. Track Learning Objectives: Identify how to use data to guide the development of programs, provision of services, and allocation of resources to address Social Determinants of Health. Describe how to address Social Determinants of Health specific to LGBT communities. Explain the impact that trauma has on the Social Determinants of Health. Identify strategies to assess mental health and housing needs of patients/clients that impact overall health outcomes. Develop a plan to incorporate practical strategies to address Social Determinants of Health into practice. Session #1: Social Determinants of Health & Health Equity Session Title: Live, Work, Play, and Stay: Exploring Social Determinants of Health and the Impact on Health Equity Session Description: Session Learning Objectives: Identify how to access and apply data toward organizational efforts to engage clients and optimize partnerships. Assess the effect of Social Determinants on HIV transmission, as well as the impact on treatment and adherence. Identify strategies to measure Social Determinants of Health in your practice to monitor patient health, improve programs, and target resources more effectively. Determine how to incorporate stakeholder feedback into quality improvement plans to impact treatment cascades. Session #2: LGBTQ Education Around Social Determinants of Health Session Title: Exploring the Social Determinants of Health and LGBTQ Education Across the Lifespan Session Description: Session Learning Objectives: Identify how to implement best practices with organizations to provide education, research, and community engagement with regard to LGBTQ-focused care. Describe how to improve provider capacity with regard to sexual orientation and gender identity to improve HIV screening for patients. Identify community or school-based programs that positively impact LGBTQ-inclusive sexual health programming. Session #3: Trauma and Social Determinants of Health Session Title: The Impact of Trauma on Social Determinants of Health: Combating Discrimination Based on HIV-Status and Opioid Use Disorder Session Description: This session will examine how trauma impacts Social Determinants of Health and health outcomes. The first presentation will address the role of trauma and discrimination on risk behaviors, coping, and engagement for patients, as well as coping and engagement for providers. Marginalized individuals may experience trauma that we do not frequently thoroughly address, and there is often stigma and shame around trauma; providers can experience secondary trauma from the experiences of clients and patients as well. The second presentation will address how the American with Disabilities Act can be utilized to protect individuals with HIV and Opioid Use Disorder from discrimination based on either of those diagnoses. Session Learning Objectives: Describe how trauma and secondary trauma affects the patient-provider encounter. Define trans-generational trauma and how it affects Social Determinants of Health. Identify ways to incorporate tools into practice to assess patient/client trans-generational trauma. Determine how to identify illegal discrimination against persons with HIV, Opioid Use Disorder, and other disabilities in employment, housing, and the provision of public and private services. Identify access points for additional information about discrimination. Session #4: Mental Health, Housing, and Social Determinants of Health Session Title: Two Critical Components in Addressing Social Determinants of Health: Mental Health & Housing Session Description: Session Learning Objectives: Analyze the relationship between HIV, mental health, and substance use and the risk of HIV infection. Identify tools for assessing mental health disorders in patients with HIV. Identify strategies to assessing mental health and housing needs of patients/clients that impact overall health outcomes. Compare sociodemographic and HIV care outcome differences between clients with a reported mental health diagnosis to those clients without.
This session will provide the learner with guidance on how to address the Social Determinants of Health (SODH) which impact health equity through measurement, mapping, data collection and analysis, and evaluation. Presenters will also address incorporating practical strategies, and stakeholder engagement to create client/patient-centered services that reduce stigma and increase engagement.
This session will explore the importance of providing LGBTQ+ focused education and care to address Social Determinants of Health from youth through adulthood. Presentations will address challenges in providing LGBTQ-focused care particularly in a politically charged atmosphere, generalizable lessons learned, as well as how to build provider capacity for cultural responsiveness to improve health outcomes for patients. Furthermore, this session will share best practices with regard to LGBTQ inclusion in sexual health education for youth.
This session will address the two critical components of mental health and housing for addressing Social Determinants of Health. It is critical when addressing mental health issues with patients to also examine substance use and how this impacts vulnerability to HIV and other negative health outcomes. Stigma around mental health issues, HIV, and substance also can negatively impact engagement and retention in care, medication adherence, and overall health outcomes.

Session Description: Session Learning Objectives: Discuss the colonization of America and the issues colonization has created in social service and healthcare fields Identify strategies for prioritizing Black and Brown client voices Describe how vulnerability and trauma arise when health department POC represent marginalized communities impacted by health inequities, while simultaneously doing the work to remediate disparities Understand the synergy between how structural systems of oppression drive POC staff and community related inequities, while providing solutions that empower participants to build meaningful relationships and work towards equitable public health practices Describe the need for primary care providers to receive comprehensive training in HIV prevention Discuss the role of stigma, discrimination, trauma, and social determinants of health in HIV prevention
This dynamic session will focus on how colonization has influenced the health/social service fields and the need to increase the capacity of emerging leaders of color within these spaces to equip them with skills, mentors, and introspection that help them advance in their varied personal career trajectories. This session will cover the development of HealthHIV’s HIV Prevention Certified Provider Program (HIV PCP), which is an online, self-paced CME curriculum composed of five courses in HIV prevention detailing the pertinent clinical and practice information that clinicians need to effectively employ HIV prevention interventions.
Session Description: During this session, participants will learn how stigma undermines access to care in marginalized communities, most notably racial and ethnic groups and sexual and gender minorities, which bear a disparate burden of non-communicable and infectious diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis, and COVID-19. Stigma in this session will be described as a set of interrelated oppressions based on clients’ race, sexual orientation, gender expression, and/or health status. Several persons with HIV will describe the impact of stigma in their lives. Providers, in turn, will discuss evidence-based approaches to improving access to care among underserved client populations. Participants will have an opportunity to submit questions before and after the session. Session Learning Objectives: Describe the multifaceted, interrelated oppressions and biases that inform how stigma is enacted and reinforced at multiple levels (interpersonal, community, and societal/political) and experienced by individuals; Discuss how stigma undermines access to care, especially within underserved and marginalized communities; and Detail how providers address their own implicit biases, while working with their organization and beyond to create safe, stigma-free spaces for clients.
