The goal of this paper is to describe strategies for revising LEND curricula to incorporate a stronger focus on life course theory and social determinants of health (LCT/SDOH). The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) includes a central focus on LCT/SDOH and states that a goal of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) training is to "Prepare and empower MCH leaders to promote health equity…and reduce disparities in health and health care." Two LEND programs engaged in a comprehensive process to strengthen LCT/SDOH in their curricula that included choosing content and themes and developing instructional strategies congruent with MCH Leadership Competencies and with the learning needs of LEND trainees. We describe: key elements of LCT/SDOH; the relationship of these to children with disabilities and to the MCH Leadership Competencies; LCT/SDOH resources for the LEND curriculum; a collaborative curriculum revision process for faculty; and LCT/SDOH content and themes for the LEND Curriculum and strategies for incorporating them. We present the results of our work in a format that may be used by other LEND programs undertaking curriculum revision to incorporate LCT/SDOH.
本文旨在描述修订 LEND 课程以纳入更强的生命历程理论和健康的社会决定因素（LCT/SDOH）的策略。母婴健康局（MCHB）将 LCT/SDOH 作为核心重点，并指出母婴健康（MCH）培训的目标是“培养和授权母婴健康领袖，以促进健康公平……并减少健康和医疗保健方面的差距。”两个 LEND 项目参与了一个全面的过程，以加强其课程中的 LCT/SDOH，包括选择内容和主题，并制定与母婴健康领导力能力和 LEND 受训者的学习需求一致的教学策略。我们描述了：LCT/SDOH 的关键要素；这些要素与残疾儿童以及母婴健康领导力能力的关系；LEND 课程的 LCT/SDOH 资源；教师合作课程修订过程；以及 LEND 课程的 LCT/SDOH 内容和主题以及将其纳入的策略。我们以一种可能被其他正在进行课程修订以纳入 LCT/SDOH 的 LEND 项目使用的格式呈现我们的工作成果。
