Determinants of Health and Population Health Promotion

Units: 1.5

Begins with conceptualizations of health, starting with individual constructions and moving toward a complex integrated understanding of health as a social and cultural construct. Understanding the broad determinants of health includes a critical examination of inequalities in health. A range of population health promotion interventions is explored, from healthy public policy to the re-orientation of the health care system.
