Public health is shaped by overlapping social, economic, and environmental forces. This course uses various conceptual frameworks and theories to explore the root causes of individual choices and behaviors and their impacts on health, vulnerability, and illness. Students will learn to identify effective intervention strategies, such as advocating for legal and policy changes, addressing social inequities, implementing targeted programs that meet community needs, and persuading individuals to change their lifestyles. Additionally, students will learn the art and science of designing and implementing evidence-based approaches to collaborate with communities and health professionals to improve health outcomes, reduce vulnerability, and address the structural foundations of inequity.
