OTH 885 : HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAMMING

A translational approach to developing health promotion programs that consider and advocate for the occupational needs of persons, groups, populations, or society is emphasized in this course. Students develop skills in cultural competency and an awareness of various diversity factors that impede access to health services. Program theory will be introduced as the basis for designing programs supported by theory and evidence. The program design and evaluation process will call upon students to explore nontraditional and emerging practice areas and delivery options and gain knowledge in grant writing, information systems, and health and public policy. Student experiences from this course may serve as the basis for the knowledge translation project. Prerequisite OTH870
