G H 590 Adolescent Health in low resource settings

G H 590B Adolescent Health in Low Resource Settings (1)  sln: 14164

Meets Tuesdays from 5:30-6:50 this Spring quarter. This seminar based course will provide an overview of the multitude of topics faced by adolescents in low resource settings and those who are working to improve their health.  This course has been designed to highlight issues for adolescents in resource limited settings with an initial focus on what makes adolescents unique. Topic-based seminars, journal article discussions, and self-journaling will include: adolescent development; physical and psychological trauma; illicit activities; ethics and the law; adolescent-focused research and programming; and the economy and public policy.  Drs. Rachel Katzenellenbogen and Maneesh Batra are dedicated to making this class interesting, educational, and interactive by viewing this topic through a multidisciplinary lens. Our hope is that this will be the first of many courses that covers the increasingly important topic of adolescent health in low resource settings.  More info: info@globalwach.org.
