• Description:
  The prevalence, risk, and burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes are distributed unevenly across different population groups in the United States. These differences in outcomes are not random or chance occurrences. Instead, they are closely linked with unfair and unjust social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage; as such, CVD is a health equity issue. Public health leaders have prioritized community-clinical linkages as an effective evidence-based approach to prevent and manage CVD. The Community-Clinical Linkages (CCL) Health Equity Guide addresses the dire need to implement evidence-based approaches that explicitly acknowledge priority populations and underlying structural social determinants of health that lead to CVD-related inequities. This Coffee Break will provide an overview on how the guide applies a health equity lens to evidence-based CCL strategies and its aim to help practitioners incorporate health equity when organizing a CCL structure and supporting its operations.
