Rural Communities and Health in the United States

3 Credits

This course is designed to allow students to examine health at the individual and community levels in rural America. Special attention will be paid to individuals and communities that engage in economic activities connected to rural America – ranching, farming, and natural resource extraction. In addition, populations who reside primarily in rural areas, both mainstream and non-mainstream, will be investigated. The health problems, health outcomes, access to health care, and alternative treatments will be explored. Attribute/Distribution: DEIN
