| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
This course provides the opportunities for practical learning in the form of lectures and exercises on theories and techniques related to health promotion activities in "places" such as the international community, countries, local communities, workplaces, and SNS communities. Focusing on social determinants of health and health disparity in particular. Among the related theories, We discuss on Rose's high risk strategy and population strategy in preventive medicine, which are further classified into vulnerable population approach, proportionate universalism, redistributive policy, etc. Health promotion requires consensus building and collaborative activities with various stakeholders. Concepts related to community practice include community empowerment, community organizing, social prescribing, community-based integrated care (chiiki houkatsu kea), and inclusive community design. We will also discuss recent voluntary actions by citizens, such as children's cafeteria (kodomo shokudo) and learning support for children. Participants will choose their own review topics to provide the presentation on them on the final day. |
