PUBH102 History of Public Health
The History of Public Health seeks to provide an understanding of the social context and biological determinants of health and disease through a chronological journey from Greco-Roman times through the 21st century. It will trace the changing urban and industrial infrastructure and their relationship to late nineteenth and early twentieth century concerns about tuberculosis, industrial illness and chronic disease. It will examine the relationship between humans and the environment, the role of urbanization, the shifting interpretation of disease causation, and the problems of measuring the impact of public health on the health status of the population.
