OVERVIEW:
Join Dr. Kalisha Bonds-Johnson as she explores the significant health disparities faced by older adults, particularly those from marginalized communities, and discover the emphasis on the role of social determinants of health (SDOH) such as economic stability, healthcare access, and social context. Discover the need for culturally-tailored and adapted interventions that respect individuals' backgrounds, ensuring more effective, person-centered care is highlighted. The concept of intersectionality is discussed, illustrating how overlapping social identities compound disadvantages in healthcare. Through a case study of an older adult, the presentation demonstrates the practical application of these concepts, while also addressing the ethical responsibility of healthcare professionals to combat disparities by promoting justice, autonomy, and cultural competence in their practice.
