About this Toolkit

Toolkit Development

The Social Determinants of Health in Rural Communities Toolkit was first published on 3/6/20.

Toolkits are developed based on a review of FORHP grantees' applications, foundation-funded projects, and an extensive literature review, to identify evidence-based and promising models. Programs featured in the toolkit were interviewed to provide insights about their work and guidance for other rural communities interested in undertaking a similar project.
