HLT 360 Principles of Epidemiology for Health Promotion
Students become novice disease detectives while they investigate the chain of disease transmission. They will be introduced to the basic concepts of epidemiology in relation to the distribution of health, the determinants of health in a population, populations at risk, the progression of the disease, and the impact of the disease. The critical role of a Contact Tracer will also be discussed. By the end of the class, students will better understand the importance of “cover your mouth and wash your hands.”
