CHL5106H: Theories for Health Promotion and Public Health Intervention

Theory is an invaluable tool for public health practitioners and researchers, to ensure that interventions build upon existing knowledge for maximal public health impact. The goal of this course is to provide students with a strong foundation in the primary theoretical perspectives that inform current research and practice in relation to health promotion and public health intervention. The focus will be on critical examination of the strengths and limitations of theories operating at the individual, interpersonal, community, organizational, and system levels. The course will equip students with a theoretical ‘toolbox’ to ground their future work in health promotion and public health intervention.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
