The course is designed to help students develop basic literacy regarding social concepts and processes that influence health status and public health interventions. The course also hopes to help students develop insight into populations with whom they have worked in the past or will work in the future, and to develop one kind of effective writing tool (the narrative) for communicating about psycho-social issues in public health. These overall aims are approached through lectures, discussion, readings, work shopping, individual compositions, and group discussion of student writings.
