In this course, students will experience how health promotion activities are defined and supported by various health indicators and program planning models.  They will demonstrate skills to develop a program rationale, assess behaviors and needs, and design plans to promote and evaluate interventions for those facing public health vulnerabilities and underlying medical conditions.  Students will also consider multicultural approaches to health behaviors, community building opportunities, and advocacy actions to promote and sustain health programs.  Attention will be given to how current health policies and guidance (such as The Affordable Care Act and Healthy People 2030) impact efforts for health promotion and disease prevention.
