Students in this course will identify social and ecological approaches to public health at the individual, interpersonal, organizational, community and environment, and policy levels. They will explore and apply the socioecological model (SEM) and other theoretical frameworks to address public health issues and reduce health disparities in morbidity and mortality. Students demonstrate an understanding of course concepts through peer discussion and research on specific health issues in special populations, identifying contributing factors and proposing appropriate interventions.
