SOC 435 - Population Health Advocacy

The goals of this capstone course are to understand population health dynamics and health equity through research-based advocacy. In addition to studying the literature and theories of population health, the social determinants of health, and health promotion, you will complete a community–based research project. Each year the research topic varies, depending on the needs of the community partner organization or on the particular research objectives. Typically, the research will be conducted as a team, so students will gain leadership and management skills and be required to collaborate closely with other classmates. Depending on the specific project, quantitative or qualitative methods may be used.
