HCP 111 Migration and Health

The purpose of this course is to examine the causes for migration and displacement, the health outcomes of migrating on displaced peoples, the various factors that lead to their differential health outcomes, and explore a policy analysis process that might generate new as well as evaluate existing methods of intervention to improve those health outcomes. This will be achieved through proposing new intervention and policy proposals and critically analyzing existing programs and policy. Building upon students learning of social determinants of health, this course aims to focus on the particular determinants that link health outcomes to place. Further, we will explore how social determinants can explain and provide a point of entry to improve the health outcomes of displaced populations. GE 5A or GE 5C.
