Catalog description

Students will utilize skills attained from previous courses, such as qualitative and quantitative methods, to analyze major causes and trends with the U.S. and other communities to use as the basis for program planning. They will be able to discuss and identify cultural values, structural bias, social inequalities and racism that have created the health challenges within various communities.
