PUBH 340 - HEALTH DISPARITIES

Institution:

Delaware State University

Subject:

Description:

Understanding health disparities involves a critical analysis of historical, political, economic, social, cultural, and environmental conditions that have produced an inequitable health status in the United States. Race or ethnicity, sex, sexual identity, age, disability, socioeconomic status, and geographic location all contribute to an individual' s ability to achieve good health. It is important to recognize the impact that social determinants have on health outcomes of specific populations. Social determinants are in part responsible for the unequal and avoidable differences in health status within and between communities. This course will include current literature and foster discussions that will examine health disparities, explore social and environmental determinants of those disparities, critically review measurement issues, and determine public health' s response to these disparities. Prerequisites: PUBH 105, PUBH 205. Credit, three hours.
