By the end of this webinar presentation, attendees will be able to: Identify the various factors, often called the “social drivers of health,” or SDOH, that influence health and well-being. Identify a mindset that empowers providers to focus on understanding the root causes of health and wellness challenges and to be change agents for positive outcomes. Identify that such a mindset requires a holistic or ecological approach to understanding how underlying contextual factors, individual circumstances, institutions, and programs interact with each other. Demonstrate how various organizations and institutions are fostering efforts to encourage awareness and action to address health disparities and to promote well-being – with a special focus on the U.S. military and the Cooperative Extension system. Identify various state and federal programs that can contribute to military family health and wellness, with a special focus on TRICARE, VA health benefits, Medicaid, and Medicare. Discuss possible new programs and policy developments relevant to military family health and well-being.
