Students use the potential findings from health assessments to develop health promotion and disease prevention strategies for various populations. Weekly readings of assigned topics allow students to demonstrate the integration of theory and practice into case studies. The role of communication in the assessment process is emphasized and barriers to health promotion, disease prevention and related communications are explored. Note: Failure in the didactic component (grade less than B-) will result in repeating this course when offered. Offered fall semester only.
