The aim: To address the social determinants of NIDs in a multisectoral and integrated approach to reduce the risk and burden of the NIDs. These two communities with overlapping of NIDs will be identified in agreement with PAHO. Possible sites include Brazil and Mexico. Objectives To identify, at the local level, the NIDs and their social determinants perceived by the members of the two selected communities and by relevant stakeholders and actors, including the health system, in two selected communities, and the importance given to both the NIDs and the social determinants. Analyze—involving community members and relevant stakeholders and actors in the process— the role of the social determinants associated with the perceived NIDs, within the Framework of Social Determinants of Health as defined by the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH). Identify—involving community participation and relevant stakeholders and actors— priorities, mechanisms and key interventions and present specific recommendations to address the Social Determinants of Health that could be used to develop a comprehensive, integrated and multi-sectoral approach in the selected communities to reduce the risk of NIDs as well as their burden.
