MPH 565 - Social and Behavioral Health

The goal of this course is to encourage students to critically think about the multiple factors that influence population health. The course focuses on social and behavioral determinants and the use of theory and planning frameworks to address public health problems. Students will have the opportunity to apply theory, assess the needs and assets of a community, design a program using a planning framework, and develop a program theory of change, or logic model to conceptualize a public health intervention.
