Population Health Final
Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Population Health is an interdisciplinary course that explores the determinants and outcomes of health within groups, communities, and populations. By examining social, environmental, behavioral, and biological factors, students develop an understanding of how health policies, socioeconomic status, cultural influences, and healthcare systems shape the well-being of entire populations. The course emphasizes health equity, prevention strategies, and the use of data analytics to monitor and improve public health outcomes at local, national, and global levels. Through case studies and real-world examples, students learn to identify health disparities, design effective interventions, and contribute to the development of healthier societies.
