PSYCH 5530      Addressing Health Disparities through Community-based Participatory Research
The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the principles of community-based participatory research as a strategy to reduce health disparities. Students will learn how CBPR principles are applied across the research continuum for developing new community partnerships, conducting needs assessments, developing culturally-appropriate health promotion interventions in collaboration with community-based organizations, and packaging health interventions for dissemination in minority communities. This class is organized with a service learning component which will require students to work with a local community-based organization on a health issue for which there is joint interest.
