Course Introduction
Health and Human Behavior explores the complex interplay between psychological, social, and cultural factors that influence individual and collective health outcomes. The course examines how behaviors such as diet, exercise, substance use, and stress management impact physical and mental health, alongside the role of attitudes, beliefs, and social environments in shaping health choices. Students will analyze theories of health behavior change, review evidence-based interventions, and consider public health strategies aimed at reducing health disparities and promoting well-being across diverse populations. Through case studies and research analysis, the course fosters critical thinking about current challenges and innovations in understanding and improving health through behavioral science.
