PUBH 210 Culturally Responsive Health Promot

This course focuses on how an individuals social, cultural, and economic background influences both their health status as well as the health care they receive. The emphasis in this course is in culturally responsive health promotion programs, which is one of public health’s primary tools for reducing health disparities. Concepts, models, frameworks, and communications that occur within intercultural health situations will be discussed, as well as the application of these concepts in real interventions and health promotion programs. More broadly, this course also explores the ways in which health disparities are created and sustained at a societal level and how social, behavioral, and environmental factors affect a populations health, including risk of infection and disease. The first half of the course emphasizes basic principles, while the second half provides a closer examination of several different populations in the U.S. A case study approach will be used to explore the intersection between culture, health, and health care. Cross-listed with GLST 251. Students taking the course to meet a global education requirement should register for GLST 251.
