    Description
    This course explores the fundamental principles that shape the growth, development, and health of individuals throughout their lifespan. Methodological, conceptual and substantive issues are presented that are necessary for understanding and evaluating empirical evidence about growth, development and health at different stages of life from a public health perspective. The course covers several themes including contributions of biological and environmental factors to health and human development, measuring population health, and assessing the implications of health disparities and cultural considerations in healthcare.
