HCAL3350 : Healthcare Behavior Theories

This course covers the social and behavioral foundations of healthcare knowledge needed to diagnose and understand individual, social network, organizational, community, and policy-maker behaviors associated with the planning, implementation, evaluation, and maintenance of healthcare programs in the context of cross-cultural settings. A discussion of cultural considerations, types of families, and the social and behavioral theories that guide our understanding of health-related behavior and form the background for health promotion and prevention efforts will be included.
