This
course examines relationships between cultural phenomena and health
behavior. The meaning and expression of personal health behaviors
are explored as consequences of family and community life set within
developmental contexts. For both children and adults, the ways
and conditions under which individuals define health status are explored.
Cultural forces that enhance or reduce the capacity of individuals,
families, or communities to maintain health are analyzed. Prerequisites:
None. |
