HLTH 340 - Unequal Burdens in Health

4 Hour(s) Credit

Racial and ethnic minorities in the United States bear an unequal burden of health problems. To understand these issues, one must increase our understanding of the multiple pathways in which race and ethnicity impact disparate health outcomes. Discussions and exercises focus on specific groups and how the patterns, causes and consequences of white privilege, environmental segregation, provider bias, and other adverse factors have persisted in American society over time and challenge students to begin to think about ways to address these health disparities.
