The purpose of this graduate seminar is to offer an advanced understanding of the current frameworks used in health promotion research and practice. Students will critically examine key approaches to research and practice such as the social determinants of health framework and the harm reduction framework. A key focus of the course will be on exploring population health interventions that utilize these and other frameworks, and that are aimed at reducing health inequities. The challenges and opportunities in developing and implementing population health interventions for different populations will also be debated.
