🏥 Project MAP | Public Health Explained: Can I Afford to Stay Healthy ?
{Learning Objectives}. Project MAP | Public Health Explained In this chapter, viewers will learn how healthcare affordability can affect access to care, recognize questions to ask when cost becomes a barrier, compare healthcare access through a Global Health lens, and use the Project MAP Lens™ to identify practical next steps.
Public Health Explained takes complex public-health issues and makes them easier to understand, relevant to everyday life, and useful for the decisions we make at home and in our communities.
Using the Project MAP Lens™, we examine current and emerging public-health topics, follow the evidence, explore real-world stories, and sometimes travel beyond our own communities to understand how health challenges and solutions look elsewhere.
