Reducing Socioeconomic & Racial/Ethnic Inequalities in Health:Concepts, Models, Effective Strategies
SBS 514
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This course will provide a critical overview of conceptual approaches and empirical evidence for interventions that take a structural approach to reducing socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities in health. The focus is on the extent to which policies and interventions on the social determinants of health can both improve health and reduce disparities. It considers interventions within the healthcare system, but I emphasize population-based interventions on the social determinants of health in multiple other societal sectors. Attention is also given to the social and political barriers to the development and proliferation of effective interventions to address social disparities in health.
