One of the goals in population health is improving the health of vulnerable and marginalized populations. These populations can be identified when looking at the determinants of health which are the physical, biological, social, cultural, and behavioral factors that influence health. APRNs serve as advocates for vulnerable populations. Two of the most effective ways to advocate for patients is through community collaboration/ partnerships and by creating health care policies. Through community collaborations, APRNs can help determine the health of the community through community health assessments.
