Course Description

Eating experiences are deeply intertwined with our patients' lived experience, shaped by factors such as income, access to grocery stores, and the availability of healthcare services. The resource-intensive nature of eating places individuals in resource-poor environments at a significant disadvantage in addressing their eating and swallowing-related care needs. Unfortunately, our understanding of our patients' lived experiences has not traditionally been incorporated into our research and clinical practices. This knowledge gap likely hampers our ability to provide socially responsive and equitable swallowing care effectively.

In this session, we will explore the role of the social exposome—encompassing life exposures—in dysphagia management. We will begin by describing and applying a socioecological lens to swallowing care, identifying areas where health disparities may emerge. Finally, we will discuss the resources needed to foster a socioecological-conscious culture in dysphagia management.

Learning Outcomes

1. Describe the social exposome and role of lived environmental exposures in the swallowing care process. 
2. Identify multilevel health disparities that may pose barriers to swallowing care. 
3. Summarize strategies that can be used clinically to discuss relevant aspects of the social exposome with patients and their families.
