Course Information
This course introduces students to the history and mission of public health. Using a multilevel framework, the course will cover the ways in which a range of structural and social determinants and behavioral, biological, and genetic factors affect population health for health equity. Students will think critically about the foundational principles of public health, theoretical concepts, and values and ethics to develop their own intersectional social justice and antiracist orientation to apply in the field.
