Description

This course focuses on theory, research, and current issues relevant to social and behavioral determinants of health. Viewed within a social-ecological framework, core concepts central to understanding determinants of population health and health disparities are addressed. Emphasis is placed on analysis, critique, and synthesis of interdisciplinary literature and application to nursing and public health practice, future research and scholarly inquiry, and multi-level policies, necessary to reduce disparities in the social and behavioral determinants of the public's health.
