NSG 511 Prevention Issues in Community Health (3 cr.)
This course is open to graduate students. It may be of particular interest to those in nursing, medicine, public health, education, social work and psychology.
In this course we will examine both theoretical and practical aspects of implementing community-level prevention programs and policies to promote health and prevent health disorders. The interdisciplinary overview of community prevention approaches focuses on the social determinants of health and health disparity reduction among vulnerable populations. This course will involve analysis of community and population preventive strategies across the life course. The roles of prevention leader and consumer of prevention information are emphasized. The course utilizes a hybrid format with four class sessions taking place on-line instead of in class.
Class takes place on Mondays 10 am to 12:50 pm
