PH 154/QBS 141 Determinants of Health Inequities
This course will explore the root causes of population health -- including social, economic, and political inequities -- and the pathways by which they influence choices, behavior, and decision-making that lead to poor health outcomes. We will also explore the role of structural determinants such as structural bias and racism and the challenges in addressing these through public health action. Students will research evidence-based strategies in addressing health inequities for a particular health issue.
