Course Description: This course will introduce the concept of Population Health Management through the lens of community health issues. We will explore the root causes and illness and disease within communities and then identify risk prevention and health promotion practices occurring within the government, state and local municipalities.
Research Paper: After learning about health issues that affect different communities, you will choose a specific health issue of interest (Such as asthma rates in low income areas of cities) then conduct research to ascertain, 1) Why is this a health problem (what statistics/facts are there to highlight this issue; 2) Who is the population being affected (ex. children/adults, urban/suburban, etc.), 3) What is currently being done to address this issues (ex. By the government, local health department, community agencies, etc.); 4) where are the gaps in service? What is missing? What needs to be done to address this issue?; 5) What are your proposed solutions to the problem? What does current research suggest to effectively address this issue?
