CHP 692 Migration and Health 3.0 Credits
This course will provide students with an overview of the health issues experienced by immigrant and migrant populations. The course starts with a global approach, but focuses on Latino im/migrants in the US as a case study. We will cover historical and current migration trends, demographic, and economic aspects of international migration, and theoretical frameworks to identify priority health issues and individual, socio-cultural, and structural health determinants across different migration phases. We will also cover strategies and interventions to address the health needs of immigrant and mobile populations. Students will gain an understanding of migration and health theories, methodological approaches, data resources, and intervention approaches to do research on and/or work with these populations.
