Abstract

The attainment of a formal education is a strong positive social determinant associated with an elevated quality of health. It increases the accessibility to various support systems enabling individuals to proactively engage in preventive health care. A total of 48 human anatomy & physiology students at Wayne County Community College District (WCCCD) filled out a public health assessment survey entitled “Healthiest Nation 2030” inquiring if they believed whether negative social determinants demonstrated a relationship to the level of student academic attainment and the quality of health. Data revealed that the majority of the surveyed WCCCD students did believe that negative social determinants adversely affected the level of educational attainment as well as the health status of a community. Their beliefs were compatible with data of previous studies pertaining to this public health matter of concern.
