HEAPH6001 Introduction to Public Health
This unit will help apply public health principles and practices of public health in relation to local and global perspectives. Students will learn population health, social determinants of health, health inequalities, health and human rights, and the core roles and functions of public health systems, policies and programs. Students will understand these concepts using case study examples to illustrate not only public health successes, but also the challenges and limitations in public health, such as, inequalities in health within and across national boundaries, as well as the contributing factors to these inequalities.
