Program Planning for Public Health Interventions (PH-0254)

Spring 2025 · PH 0254 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

This course takes an ecological approach to health. The determinants of individual health can range from individual actions to broad social and environmental conditions. Although interventions can be directed at the individual (for example, helping patients adhere to a low-fat dietary regimen) or to the population as a whole (such as mandating seat belt use) an objective of public health practice is often to encourage people to adopt behaviors that will improve their health status. This course provides an overview of the scientific basis for understanding human health behavior and strategies available for trying to change it.
