Where we live, where we work, where we go, and how we get there may all impact our behaviors and ultimately our health and well-being. This course examines the urban environment - in particular, those aspects of urban/suburban/semi-rural environments created by humans. This includes how homes, neighborhoods, cities and regions impact public health challenges such as obesity, chronic disease, mental health, infectious disease, and injuries. This course will teach students to translate scientific findings to design healthy communities, and develop interventions to promote urban health. Students will learn how to map neighborhood characteristics such as food outlets, parks and walk ability, and to develop recommendations for policymakers.

3.00 Credits
Interdisciplinary scope of environmental health problems. Development of a practical, dynamic model for integrating fundamental concepts from a variety of environmental disciplines. Open only to EPH majors.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides students with introductory knowledge of the broad and relatively young field of Oceans and Human health. The focus is the present, future, and potential effects of oceanic processes and marine organisms on human health and wellbeing. These diverse factors reflect the physical, chemical, biotic and social processes which require an integration of information and knowledge from the medical, marine, and social sciences. Of growing concern in this rapidly-developing area of study is the human health effects from exposure to substances that occur widely in marine ecosystems including synthetic organic chemicals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAs), metals (both introduced and anthropogenic), marine toxins, and pathogens.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a dynamic, interactive approach to public Health designed to prepare students in basic policy, epidemiology, and health education related to nutrition.

A major focus will be on the ecology of vectors in their local environments and how transmission dynamics are affected by changes in land use, urbanization, and climate. Students will learn about new WHO-approved strategies for integrated Vector Management (IVM) and how they are applicable for the prevention and control of all vector-borne diseases.
