Topics in Public Health- Chronic Disease Prevention and Control
After decades of progress, life expectancy in the US peaked and is declining, even before the COVID pandemic. Opioids, COVID and gun deaths have added to the decline, however, chronic diseases ¿ heart disease, cancer, diabetes, liver disease, Alzheimer¿s and the related risk factors- tobacco, diet and obesity, alcohol misuse- have actually been the primary reason the US life expectancy is declining.
This course takes an evidence-based public health approach to review leading causes of chronic disease morbidity and mortality, and identifies key intervention strategies to address the problem. The course will view the solutions through the lens of the socio-ecological framework, so that chronic disease morbidity and mortality is addressed via multiple-level population health intervention strategies including policy, systems and environmental change. The course is framed in an evidence-based public health framework. Prerequisites:

More Information
If our beliefs influence the meaning we attribute to our moment-to-moment perceptions, then it would follow that our communication lives are tied to our beliefs; further, it follows that much of communication occurs at the unconscious level of cognition. It seems apparent that our beliefs are critical to determining who we are, how we live our lives, how we parent, vote, treat others, how we understand things, even ourselves. Carol Dweck (2016) writes that "beliefs are the key to happiness (and to misery)." She reports that psychiatrist Aaron Beck, who was responsible for developing cognitive therapy and cognitive behavior therapy, came to the conclusion that his client's problems were due to their beliefs. Dweck wrote, "Just before they felt a wave of anxiety or depression, something quickly flashed through their minds. It could be: Dr. Beck thinks I'm incompetent." Or "This therapy will never work. I'll never feel better" (p. 224). In other words, beliefs caused bad feelings in their lives.
