We are offering an online seminar style course “Tobacco-related Health Disparities” this Winter. It is now updated to include content on Vaping related disparities and also a session on Tobacco Disparities among people who consume other substances, with emphasis on alcohol and cannabis.
HSERV 556 is a 2-credit course that introduces multidisciplinary perspectives on, potential explanations of, and interventions for health disparities in tobacco use and tobacco-related disease. FAMED 559 is the concurrent 1 or 2-credit version of this course open to medical school students. This course is dually relevant for scholars interested in health disparities in general and for those specifically interested in tobacco-related topics. Many of the materials in this course are relevant to understanding non-tobacco health inequities. Local and nationally-known researchers, practitioners, and clinicians have contributed to the lectures in the course.
