Daniel E. Dawes, J.D., is a widely respected lawyer, author, scholar, educator, and leader in the health equity, health reform, and mental health movements, is director of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia and a professor of health law, policy and management.
In this in-depth conversation Mr. Dawes and I sit down to talk about the social and political frame work of the political determinants of health and the impact these motivations have on vulnerable, minority and underrepresented populations.
For more insight on the model of the Political Determinants of health, I encourage you to check out his acclaimed book entitled “Political Determinants of Health“
