HSCI 498 - Health Sciences Capstone
Prerequisites, health sciences major, senior standing. A wealth of health sciences research has focused on individual-level risk factors (e.g., exercise and diet) associated with chronic disease (e.g., obesity and cardiovascular disease).

Thus, this course will examine: (1) the relationship between social and environmental conditions and public health, (2) the unequal distribution of social and environmental determinants of health, and (3) health interventions that account for contextual circumstances toward advancing the health of all people and all communities.
