Public health’s role is to protect and improve the health of everyone in our communities. In this one hour webinar, which is part of the Hot Topics series, Anthony Iton, MD, JD, MPH, looks at how public health can decrease health inequities by reducing chronic disease through community-based prevention. He presents approaches to mapping chronic disease distribution within the community. He also offers a framework for understanding this distribution and coupling it with strong community involvement to reduce health disparities.
