NURS 7340 Theoretical Issues with Culturally Diverse and Vulnerable Population Groups
The goal of this course is to examine health and well-being as a population phenomenon through study of the role of environment, the concept of the gradient effect in health, and an examination of interdisciplinary science to support developmental health of populations. The variables influencing health outcomes (race/ethnicity discrimination; socioeconomic diversity; age; religion; gender; migration; medical bureaucracies) and models for changing health outcomes (social capital; learning societies) will be analyzed and synthesized.
