MHS 633 CLINICALLY APPLIED CONCEPTS IN SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
This core course focuses on the proposition that health is driven by behaviors of the patient, community, or society, and by the health professional. The course discusses six different behavior theories that effect health promotion practice whether with a patient or the environment in which the patient lives and works. It integrates these six behavior theories into three levels of activity (individual, community, societal) and defines their outcomes within the Social Determinants of Health. In illustrating these theories and their outcomes, the course also defines and provides an overview of nine health issues common in health care delivery. Pre-requisites: MHS 600 and MHS 602.
