Healthcare policies play a critical role in addressing social  determinants of health (SDOH), which can contribute to health  disparities among different populations. Choose a current healthcare  policy or initiative aimed at addressing SDOH (e.g., Medicaid expansion,  community health programs, or housing initiatives) and discuss its  potential to reduce health disparities. (CSLO #1)

Consider the following:

• How does the chosen policy address key SDOH factors (e.g., income, education, housing, access to healthcare)?
• What are the strengths and limitations of the policy in reducing health disparities?
• How can advanced practice nurses play a role in promoting or improving policies that address SDOH?
