PH 205 Bio-Psycho-Social Determinants of Health Equity
This course will explore the biological, psychological, sociological roots of population health -- including economic and political inequities. These considerations will be linked to the pathways by which they influence choices, behavior, and decision-making that lead to poor health outcomes. We will also explore the role of cognitive bias, structural bias, racism and poverty, as they contribute to health disparities. Students will use these principles in conjunction with standard health models to reflect on readings and health inequities for a particular health issue.
