PUBH.5020 Determinants of Health
Since social and physical environments and health behaviors carry a far greater influence on health outcomes than medical care, this course will focus on the underlying causes of illness, wellness, and health by focusing on the evidence and the current theories supporting the underlying determinants of health. This course will also demonstrate how critical the understanding of determinants of health can impact public health research and planning, and public policy to promote healthier societies nationally and globally that provide greater health equity.
