Description
Prerequisite: ENG 102 and one other PUH 300 level course or concurrent enrollment
In this seminar, students are introduced to community health issues (especially in the Navajo Nation) and to problems faced in health care systems and health care delivery. Topics covered may include emergency services, the delivery and referral systems (both tribal and federal), and challenges, including alcohol use and abuse, illicit drug use, and mental health. The focus of the topics of this course will be on research, past and present, in public health on the Navajo Nation. Projects will be selected based on research that has been reviewed by the IRB. Exposure to ongoing research projects and researchers will enable students to see public health research in action and give them experience with both the process and the product of research.
