MPH 528 Food, Nutrition & Population Health
Nutrition is a key determinant of population health. The course explores how social identity and cultural values influence food security, health disparities, and risk for disease. Health promotion and disease prevention are relevant to many disciplines and in several areas. During the course, students will apply principles of translational epidemiology in various public health settings. Finally, by the end of this course, students will have a deeper understanding of which population groups in the U.S. require assistance from nutritional programs, what these programs are, and how they operate.
