That’s because changing laws, policies, and community conditions still requires persuading individual decision-makers to engage in new behaviors to support, fund, and implement proposed changes. In this second part of our series on social determinants of health, health equity, and related issues, we focus on six tips for effective communication that can transform communities and improve health equity. Success may mean never uttering the words “PSE Change” or even “health.”
