PUBH 201 - Introduction to Global and Multicultural Health
3 Credits
This course explores the global and multicultural health factors that explain the unequal distribution of health and disease in the world. The course will begin with an introduction to the language of global health: the burden of disease, epidemiology, cost-effectiveness, and health systems. It will focus on the effect of globalization on social and scientific consequences in public health. Class topics will include the relationship between global stressors such as extreme weather, war, economics, urbanization and living conditions and their effects on the population’s health, the spread of infectious and chronic diseases, and nutrition and environmental health. One of the indicators of global and population health is reproductive health. Women’s health will be examined and compared by country. (GI)
