HE 225 — Social Determinants of Health
This course explores how social conditions, factors, institutions, and systems where we are born, grow, work, live, and age influence health. Students will explore historical and contemporary examples of health determinants to examine why differential risks of poor health and premature mortality persist. Application of selected health behavior models and theories will be utilized to demonstrate the complex interplay between individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and societal factors.
