TSC 6505 - Healthy Communities

This course will provide students with an overview of the concepts, practice, and research in the area of Healthy Communities. The beginnings of the healthy communities’ movement took place in mid 1980s when Leonard Duhl’s concept of holistic health promotion and illness prevention captured the imagination of World Health Organization (WHO) officials. As a result of WHO initiatives, the WHO healthy communities program is now ongoing in 36 cities in Europe, between 60 and 70 cities in Canada and several in the United States. 3 credit(s)
