Credits: (4 credits)

This course examines the biopsychosocial model of health and illness in which biological, psychological, and social factors interact to determine how and why individuals become ill, ways in which they react to illness. Topics covered include health-enhancing and health-compromising behaviors such as diet, exercise, alcohol, drug, and nicotine use; individual and interpersonal factors relevant to health, and broader consideration of the role of health psychology in the current healthcare climate.
