  9. Linking Health Equity & MAPP MAPP engages the community around health. MAPP provides a strategic framework to formulate goals and strategies that address the root causes of health inequities, to achieve the highest level of health for all people. The MAPP process can increase community awareness and understanding of the impacts of social determinants on health outcomes. 10
