This course examines disparities and inequities in acute, chronic, mental and physical health status and outcomes for diverse racial and ethnic groups in the United States. The life course health development (LCHD) framework and intersectionality and health equity (HE) perspectives are major organizing themes. Course content includes exploration of the socio-historical background and structural drivers (e.g., racism/White supremacy, sexism, colonialism) of health disparities/inequities and critiques of current explanatory models and frameworks (e.g., behavioral/lifestyle, Weathering Hypothesis, social determinants of health, structural factors, and systems perspectives). Students will gain an understanding of ethical and professional imperatives for confronting racial and ethnic health disparities/inequities and Social Work roles and strategies for their eradication.
