Course Description:
This course will examine the impact of biological, behavioral, psychological, and social/cultural factors on human health and wellness across the lifespan. We will focus on the principles of health behavior and behavior changes, including experiential learning assignments that will involve students monitoring and modifying their own health behaviors (e.g., sleep, physical activity, healthy eating). We will also explore other topics including stress and coping, the etiology and treatment of specific diseases (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, cancer, depression), and applications of specific psychological/behavioral interventions (e.g., mindfulness-based interventions) to improve physical and mental health outcomes. |
