Resource Overview

In this interactive global health and social studies simulation, students take on the role of different countries and respond to prompts by stepping forward or backward based on social and economic indicators that influence health: such as healthcare access, income, and education. The activity visually shows global health disparities and culminates in a “Race for Health.”
