IDIS 217

The course is based on a public health approach to assuring the health of families, rather than a medical approach. Prevention is emphasized, and the focus is on an evidence-based approach whenever possible. Issues related to the role of the government in providing services for those who are socioeconomically challenged will be a prominent theme throughout. The importance of public health policy will be obvious. Social justice is a common thread throughout. Graded S/U.
