HLTH-370: Health Disparities

This course investigates health disparities through an interdisciplinary approach: public health policy, health promotion, psychology, social science, behavioral science, and medicine. The course provides opportunities to consider the effects of socio-demographic factors and coinciding barriers to good health, as well as the stigma created by these factors.  The course further delves into how certain populations are marginalized at various levels of society. Students will explore how gaining an understanding of the characteristics of diverse populations will provide opportunities to decrease related disparities in health and social justice.  As needed.
