HEST-200 Community and Health Leadership
This course/workshop will engage students in learning and applying basic epidemiology skills and the public health problem solving paradigm for the purpose of providing community health leadership using the university as a community model. Students will examine environmental, behavioral, and social factors as proximal risk factors in the context of young adult development and the university as a complex organization. In addition, systematic consideration will be given to assess mediating factors such as culture, regulation, and interactive processes that affect community health. Community health builds on the ideas of common values, history, traditions, routines, and rituals that may foster or impede health and development for young adults. The major public health challenges facing the college student population will be discussed in depth. The end result of the course will be a group presentation and report of a project designed to address one of these major public health problems.
