These perspectives include the relationship between social organization and health, social constructions and meanings of health, social epidemiology, health beliefs and behavior, and the experience of illness. The course focuses on the struggles of the poor and needy in obtaining healthcare and the social barriers to accessing health and wellness. The course includes an applied research project in which students will exhibit leadership skills through the organization of services for the disadvantaged in the Fort Wayne and surrounding area. The projects will also promote education as it relates to health and wellness in the USF community.
