Show Notes

Today on the Protecting our Public Health Podcast, Sharity continues this month’s theme of ‘health equity’ by welcoming Cindy Shirtcliff who shares information about ‘Bridges out of Poverty’ and her involvement with it over the years.

 

Episode Highlights:

 

  • Cindy’s professional history and how she ended up working with Bridges out of Poverty
  • The Bridges out of Poverty materials and the four different lenses of understanding
  • The ‘Mental Model’ of poverty
  • How the individual lens and the mental model can influence health care providers

 

Quotes:

 

“I was noticing…how…the social determinants of health were interfering with kids’ ability to learn, and the economic status as well.”

 

“The Bridges out of Poverty materials define poverty as a lack of resources…it’s really resources and not just about money.”

 

“All of the resources that individuals need are in that mental model, and we…refer to those now as social determinants of health.”

 

“Understanding that individuals in poverty have many struggles in terms of getting their individual and day-to-day needs met.”

 

“Those rules for individuals in poverty are different than those individuals in, say, middle class.”
