Chronic disease risk reduction from a population-based perspective will be explored. Utilizing a determinants of health framework, strategies for identifying risk and managing chronic disease at a population level will be studied. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis and mental health will be used to frame this approach to disease risk reduction. Students will move from examining theoretical approaches to chronic disease prevention to examining ‘success stories’ – examples of theory being put into practice. Lect: 3 hrs.
