Details:
However, given the importance of health equity, this new NOFO also addresses social and economic factors to help health systems respond to social determinants present in their communities to offer those at risk of, or burdened with CVD, the best health outcomes possible.
Extensive scientific evidence links nonmedical factors, including systemic racism and the lack of economic opportunities, with poor health outcomes and increased mortality rates, all of which are preventable. Factors such as poverty, inadequate housing, poor health care, and other debilitating social conditions, commonly referred to as social determinants of health, contribute to long-standing disparities and health inequities.
The populations of focus are those impacted by the high prevalence of CVD, exacerbated by health inequities and disparities, social determinants, such as low incomes, poor health care, and unfair opportunity structures. Specific emphasis is placed on the prevention and control of hypertension and high cholesterol.
Purpose of the Program
This NOFO supports state investments in implementing and evaluating evidence-based and evidence-informed strategies to prevent and manage CVD in select populations in each state and the District of Columbia. This must be achieved by joining or creating an LC and demonstrating capacity to reduce hypertension and high cholesterol in alignment with specified strategies. The persons of focus are impacted by a high prevalence of CVD, exacerbated by health inequities and disparities, social determinants, such as inadequate health care, education, poverty, and unfair opportunity structures.
