RWJF Issue Brief Series on Social Determinants of Health

Paula Braverman of the The Center on Social Disparities of Health  writes: In 2009-2011 and 2014 The Center on  Social Disparities of Health worked with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to produce a series of issue briefs on the social determinants of health that would have solid scholarship but be aimed at a wide, non-technical audience.   A number of people who teach graduate or undergraduate courses are using these issue briefs as core curricular materials.  RWJF and we would be delighted if they are of use to you.  Here are links to all the briefs:
