Health Promotion and Risk Reduction Across the Lifespan

In this course, students will examine the theoretical and empirical bases for health promotion and risk reduction assessment and intervention in primary health care. Health objectives for the nation will provide the organizing framework for the consideration of health behaviors. Health promotion and risk reduction will be examined within an ecological perspective, including critical social, political, racial/ethnic, cultural and economic environments. Students will examine issues that impact individual, family, aggregate, and community wellness throughout the life span.
