Abstract
  • Education access and quality is one social determinant of health outlined by Healthy People 2030, with a key objective to increase the proportion of high school graduates in college the October after graduating. Those with a higher level of education have opportunities for jobs that can offer safer work environments and higher income, which can lead to mental stability. Without these opportunities, mental health can suffer due to stress, anxiety, and depression. The Accountable Care Community (ACC) intends to address mental health outcomes in Cumberland County through improving educational attainment via increasing the number of high schoolers who enroll in college after graduation. The priority population will be high school students ages 13-18. To achieve this, we hope to accomplish: 1) Expansion of Cumberland County’s dual enrollment program, the High School Connections; 2) Expansion of the Free Summer Meals program, and 3) Eliminating the SAT requirement. Keywords: adolescence, mental health, education, Cumberland County, equity, social determinant of health, (SDoH), Accountable Care Community (ACC), food insecurity, high school, college, dual enrollment, SAT testing, Free Lunch
