Poverty, Housing and Stigma: The Profound Effects of the Social Determinants of Health on Addiction Management

In the coming years, FQHCs and PHPCs are expected to take an increasing share of the country’s addiction management caseload. This is particularly true of health centers serving disadvantaged populations.

In this webinar, the National Center for Health in Public Housing team presented an epidemiological perspective of addiction management with a focus on the impact that housing, poverty, and historical marginalization has had on the lived experience of residents of public housing and other marginalized groups.

Additionally, through the lens of the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), we examined the models, practices, and care interventions which can assist FQHCs and PHPCs in supporting addiction management programs and promoting the staff and patient experience at their organization.
