About the Concentration
This concentration is for the Public Health, MPH . The health and well-being of individuals depends heavily on the families and communities in which they live. The makeup of the family unit continues to evolve-single parenthood is rising, gender roles are evolving, and recognition of same-sex couples is growing. Meanwhile, racial and economic disparities are challenging governments, health systems, schools and other institutions that serve our communities. These changes and the challenges they entail present opportunities to address important population health issues. Pursuing the Family and Community Health concentration will allow students to gain an understanding of the dynamics of these institutions and settings, approaches to assess them, methods to promote health and skills to evaluate programs.
