Can early events and exposures impact health throughout the lifetime? They can.
Recent social science and public health literature posits that each life stage influences the next, and that social, economic, and physical environments interacting across the life course have a profound impact on individual and community health.

The Life Course Perspective (LCP) offers a new way of looking at health, not as disconnected stages unrelated to each other, but as an integrated continuum. LCP views health as a complex interplay of biological, behavioral, psychological, social and environmental factors that contribute to health outcomes across the course of a person’s life.
The course meets from 12:30 to 1:50 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Find it listed in The UW School of Public Health Department of Health Services. For details, contact instructor Rosa Solorio, MD, MPH at Solorio@uw.edu.
