IHS 503 - Social Determinants of Health

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Integrated Health Sciences

Description:

This course will expose, explore and examine inequity and inequality in health and health care. These two interests are related, but not the same. Resolution of disparities in health insurance and access to adequate and culturally appropriate health care, while vitally important and necessary, can neither resolve inequality in health nor redress the inequity that produces it. The impact of inequity and inequality on population health and well-being will be explored. Eco-social epidemiology and lifecourse theory will be developed as the foundation for theory-driven analysis and evidence-based knowledge for practice. Cross-listed with IHS 403.
