PSY 427 Using Prevention Strategies
A prevention science approach means using science-based strategies and tools to assess health and well-being problems among individuals, families, and communities, and develop strategies, programs, practices, and policies to improve outcomes. During this course, students will identify a public health problem in their discipline, and through a science-based, upstream approach be able to assess risk and protective factors, develop a plan of action, and design a prevention program strategy with an evaluation component to reduce adverse outcomes and increase resiliency.
