Health Behavior and Society
Final Test Solutions
Course Introduction
Health Behavior and Society explores the complex interactions between individual behaviors and the broader social, cultural, and environmental factors that influence health outcomes. The course examines major theories and models of health behavior, the roles of social determinants such as socioeconomic status, education, and policy, and the impact of cultural norms and community structures on health practices. By analyzing both individual and collective factors, students gain an understanding of strategies for health promotion, disease prevention, and the design and implementation of effective health interventions at population and community levels.
