o Example of Step 2: In step 1, the Children & Adolescent Category was selected. Now we need to narrow down this category to select a specific vulnerable population. For this example, from the “Children & Adolescent” category. “Children between the ages 5 – 7years of age” was selected from Appendix A.
Step 3 – Choose one Determinant – Next, we need to think about what you want to learn more about this vulnerable community. What disparity or determinant would you select? To help you select a health disparity or social determinant, refer to Appendix B.o Example of Step 3 – so far, we have selected the “Children & Adolescent” category. Then we narrowed the vulnerable population down to “Children 5-7 years of age”. After looking at Appendix B, the determinant picked for this example is “Biological Determinant”.
Step 4 – Select a Health Disparity for your selected vulnerable population from Appendix B.Example of Step 4 – so far, we have selected the “Children & Adolescent” category. Then we narrowed the vulnerable population down to “Children 5-7 years of age”. After looking at Appendix B, the determinant picked for this example is “Biological Determinant” and the health disparity is “childhood obesity” is selected.

Where is your vulnerable population located? Is it a school, state, region, or neighborhood?Example of Step 5 – We have selected the Children & Adolescent category.
