NUTR 512 - Multicultural Approaches to Population Health

3 Credit Hours
This course will provide a survey of the social determinants of health (e.g. socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, social capital, neighborhood influences) with emphasis on methods and issues of measurement of social factors, and advanced methodologies in social epidemiology (e.g. community-based participatory research, GIS and spatial mapping, multi-level modeling). Basic statistical measures used in the analysis of epidemiologic studies, including measures of disease frequency and measures of association, will be covered. This course engages students in critical thinking and discussion about the conceptual bases of public health and health education, including the philosophical and political ideologies that have shaped research and practice in both fields. Students completing this course will be able to critically consider public health programs and policies.
