Human Diversity Project (Professor’s Instructions)
Purpose: The purpose of the Human Diversity Project is to apply human behavior theories and the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) framework to understanding the challenges faced by an at-risk population of people.
Each of you has been assigned to a small group (5 students each group) focused on an at-risk population. My group will be working on:
• Young adults aging out of foster care (ages 18-25)
1. Read the handout on defining at-risk populations (separately attached).
2. Explore the Healthy People 2030 https://health.gov/healthypeople/priority-areas/social-determinants-health website which explains the framework for understanding Social Determinants of Health (SDOH).
3. There are five key elements to the SDOH: Economic stability; Healthcare access and quality; Education access and quality; Neighborhood and built environment; and Social and community context. I AM ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY CONTEXT in my group.
4. Examine the challenges your at-risk group (young adults aging out of foster care ages 18-25) faces within the SDOH elements.
5. Use sociocultural theories to explain why this group is marginalized or vulnerable.
6. Identify ways we can advocate for positive social change.
SDOH & Social and Community Context • Describe challenges this population faces with social and community context including neighborhoods and built environments. Give specific examples.
• Explain how we could advocate for this at-risk group to help make positive social change.
• Include in-text citations and references to support your facts on each slide

The Power Point Slides are based on information from the book. The instructor makes those Power Point slides to make it a little easier for us. They might help you.
Thank you.

I would like to receive the help from someone who has experience doing Social Work papers. It is difficult to please the instructor, if I do not use the social work theories, perspectives, or models used in social work. Thank you.
