NUR 842: Population Health and Emerging Health Issues

In this course, students use epidemiological, biostatistical, and other scientific approaches to analyze and synthesize population health data to better understand health disparities, determinants of health and illness, health promotion and risk reduction strategies, and to evaluate the distribution of emerging population health issues. The role of federal, state, and local governments in relationship to the core functions of population health are explored. Students learn how to communicate results and identify best practices to implement effective interventions and recommend policy for the management of targeted populations.
