This module introduces the concepts and strategies associated with the public health approach. The module reviews the historical development of public health as a political, social and economic response to human health and welfare concerns. In the second half of the module there is a focus on health inequalities; understanding their causation, how they manifest in populations and a critical evaluation of methods used to reduce them.

To enhance knowledge and understanding of population-based health issues and the public health response through policy and practice.
