Increasingly, health policymakers are becoming aware of the social determinants of health and the role they play in prevention disease and promoting health and wellness.

In the "Frameworks for Action in Policy and Politics" chapter, examine Box 1-1 (Political Aspects of the Social Determinants of Health) and Figure 1-6 (The Who, What, Where, When, and Why of Nursing's Policy Influence). Focus on the  story about Lilian Wald's work in New York City.

Reflect on the "what" of Wald's strategies. In your opinion, which did she use effectively? Looking further at the "what" in Figure 1-6, answer the following questions: Discuss at least three competencies/strategies that you have used effectively. Identify a competency/strategy that you don't currently use and discuss how you might incorporate them into your advocacy toolbox.
