Course Information

Description

Social, Behavioral, and Structural Determinants of Health aims to provide an introduction to the social determinants of health, examine how social determinants influence the health of individuals, communities, and populations, provide an overview of public health intervention and evaluation approaches, and introduce health advocacy. Faculty will offer foundational frameworks and theories, discuss relevant research, explore potential interventions to improve health status and health outcomes, and encourage participants to apply their learning to current US and international contexts and issues. In addition to weekly discussion boards and check-in quizzes to grapple with the weekly material, students will get to complete two written assignments centered around identifying and addressing a solution to a health disparity in their home community. After learning the basics of how to write a critical communication/advocacy format (i.e. an op-ed), students will author one as the final assignment for this course.
