Health Disparities Course at Case Western
This fall the Center for Reducing Health Disparities will again offer a course on health disparities at Case Western Reserve University.
Health Disparities is listed as: EPBI 510, CRSP 510, SASS 510, MPHP 510, and NURS 510.
This course aims to provide theoretical and application tools for students from many disciplinary backgrounds to conduct research and develop interventions to reduce health disparities. The course will be situated contextually within the historical record of the United States, reviewing social, political, economic, cultural, legal, and ethical theories related to disparities in general, with a central focus on health disparities. Several frameworks regarding health disparities will be used for investigating and discussing the empirical evidence on disparities, research and outcome measurement issues, policy and policy formation concerns, and intervention practices. While racial/ethnic disparities in health and health outcomes will be an important focus of this course, disparities among other subgroups (e.g., the poor, women, uninsured, disabled, and non-English speaking populations) may also be included and discussed.
