Population Health Theory and Methods Seminar I: Contemporary Issues & Population Health Ethics
Introduces foundational concepts, core functions, and professional values of advanced population health nursing, using contemporary issues to explore epidemiological science, theory, ethics, and best practices.
Summary
What you’ll be able to do
Explain the unique perspectives, priorities, and conceptual frameworks and theories that guide advanced population health practice.
Contrast ethical deliberations within biomedical research or individual healthcare practice with ethical decision-making in population health.
Appraise the potential impacts, shortcomings, and ethical implications of typical approaches to population-level health promotion (health education, social marketing, clinical intervention, environmental or infrastructure changes, policy development and enforcement).
Examine the social, historical, economic, environmental, and political forces, as well as the biological and cognitive processes, that shape individual behaviors and health outcomes, as well as the health and well-being of populations.
Apply socioecological, physiological, behavioral, and developmental perspectives to select population health issues.
Critically consider individual characteristics, upstream determinants, and other drivers of select population health issues to identify areas of opportunity and propose ethical strategies to mitigate risk, address inequities, and promote health and well-being.
Discern common challenges to evidence-based practice and decision-making in population health.
