Social Determinants of Health.

Catalog description

Students will gain in-depth understanding of social determinants of health (SDOH), defined as the conditions and environments in which people live that affect a wide range of health and quality-of-life outcomes. Particular attention will be given to how racism and other forms of systematic bias and injustice lead to health disparities, including within healthcare settings. Students will use an SDOH framework to analyze social and structural determinants of specific health issues and behaviors.
