HONOR 2455 - Social Determinants of Health

The conditions in which people are born, live, work, and learn shape a wide range of health risks and outcomes. In this class, we will explore disparities in health across communities and population groups, and seek to understand the social, economic, and political structures that foster these inequities. We will apply what we learn about social determinants of health to consider interventions across the ecological framework that have the potential to improve individual and population health.
