CI-167 Public Health: A Need to Think Outside The Box
This course seeks to make you an innovative public health thinker by examining past campaigns and making the necessary frameshifts to help promote, protect and preserve health of the Suffolk community through the innovative thinking process. Public health activists and designers can have a positive impact on the lives of citizens living in small communities. However, the agreed rules and regulations that make up this policy landscape are created by paradigms which can be constricting. The issues the course addresses will include Suffolk's current plans for reducing carbon emission, behavioral determinants such as alcohol consumption among college students, and improving eating habits on campus. The final project will be peer reviewed and presented to the class. Programs may then be forwarded to university departments for possible integration and implementation.
Prerequisite
