This course is designed to provide students with the basic processes and skills for understanding human behavior and the application of these processes to improve the health of communities. Next in the sequence after PH 101, this course provides an in-depth look at community health, one of the disciplines of public health. Students will learn and practice public health methods such as health communication, health promotion, and other program planning methods used to educate and design efforts to prevent disease, injury and improve health and wellbeing. Health programming will focus on communities, instead of individual health. Students will read and analyze public health literature, exploring scholarly and scientific approaches to community health promotion and education.
