PH 134 U.S. Maternal and Child Health Care

The health of mothers, infants, and children is dependent upon accessible and effective health care.  In this course, we will critically examine the provision of health care through public and private systems to U.S. women of reproductive age, infants, and young children.  The course will first provide an overview of health and social issues in this population, and then students will explore the unique funding, structure, processes, and outcomes of U.S maternal and child health care with an emphasis on current critical issues.  This is a hands-on evidence and data driven course that builds upon many of the courses and topics from the summer and fall and connects with winter and spring term courses. The course includes a lab where previously acquired epidemiologic and Stata skills will be applied to examine perinatal risk, care, and outcomes.  In-class time will be used primarily for discussion and hands-on learning.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
