This unit introduces students to a population view of health and provides a framework for understanding population health issues. Using this framework, discussions are based on how we know what the major health issues are, who is at risk of ill-health, what are the determinants or influences on human health and disease, and what is the potential for prevention. A number of case studies are used to illustrate the population health approach to describing and addressing patterns of health and disease in populations. -- Course Website
