Introduction: Public health nursing practice is population-focused with a goal of improving health outcomes. Nurses often work with an interdisciplinary team to address societal health concerns, promote health, and protect the health of populations. The role of a public health nurse has expanded beyond providing health education to include advocacy, social marketing, policy development & enforcement, surveillance, disease & health event investigation, outreach, screening, referral & follow-up, case management, delegated functions, counseling, consultation, collaboration, coalition building, and community organizing (Minnesota Department of Health, 2019). Nursing students will work be assigned a topic to develop a Societal Health Construct Power Point Presentation that addresses a topic of concern for a population. The purpose of this activity is to identify community and systems level interventions that address health disparities and social determinants of health (SDOH) to impact health outcomes within populations or communities.
