HLTH 425 - Human Disease and Health Promotion

This course examines a range of contemporary health and disease challenges for the 21st Century. Students examine the epidemiology and pathology of common diseases and the attendant psychosocial implications. Disease prevention and control are discussed through the lens of health promotion.  According to the World Health Organization (1986), “Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and determinants, and thereby improve their health”.
