Compelling evidence shows health disparities are the result of inequalities. This book introduces these social determinants of health (SDOH), discusses how they relate to public health programs and explains how to design and evaluate interventions bearing them in mind.

This invaluable text provides a rigorous guide to the assessment and evaluation of treatment programs through a multi-disciplinary, holistic model of care. It highlights issues of race, social justice, and health equity, and offers real-world guidance to effect community healing and transformation.

Does a program work? What is the value? How do we know? These are questions that keep evaluators up at night. Continued rural community funding, employment, health, and justice depend on our answers to these questions.
