BACH 6328 Race, Ethnicity, Culture, and Health

This advanced course exposes students to cutting edge topics in race, ethnicity, culture, and health. The course provides insight into why some populations and communities experience disparities or dissimilarities in health status and health care services, relative to other populations and communities. The course will approach description and explanation from an ecological perspective that accounts for individual-level variables (e.g., genetics, psychology, behaviors) as well as socio-environmental variables (e.g., social structures and processes, socioeconomic status, neighborhood and community effects, culture).
