CHP 691 Public Health Practice in and with Latino Communities 3.0 Credits
The goal of this course is to prepare students for genuine engagement in a culturally diverse experience in the service of Latino populations within the United States using interdisciplinary approaches to learn about public health practice. Attention will be given to the major Latino subgroups living in the US and the role of applied knowledge about ways to work with these varied populations across their lifespan. This course seeks to help students better understand the multiple forces that impinge on one’s health, and the role of social determinants – where we live, where we work, where we socialize, and the role of stress on our physical health and mental well-being.
