Select only three of the following research questions for your initial post. Keep the sublevel headings used below and reword the questions into statements based on your research:
Understanding SDH in Context: How does SDH affect community health outcomes, and why is it crucial for future health practitioners to have a deep understanding of these factors?
Role of Health Informatics: In what ways can Health Informatics be utilized to address and improve social determinants of health, and what are some potential challenges in implementing these technologies in underserved communities?

How can these strategies be tailored to meet the needs of specific communities, including those served by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)?
Write a 500-word initial post that contains the following:
