Global Population Change and Local Public Health Needs: Problem Solving Seminar

3 Credits.

Describes global and national population trends, examines their causes, and considers their consequences. Explains why population change in a local area may differ from changes observed in the nation as a whole. Reviews major sources of population data and key measurement concepts. In a series of case studies, analyzes data to describe population changes in both domestic and international settings. Students use these data to develop a strategic plan for addressing the changing public health needs of a local population and to design a system-level intervention for meeting those needs.
