Subject: [HealthLiteracy 1944] Undergrads & determinants of health
Importance: High

Hello

Next Fall, I am teaching an undergraduate course that focuses on the 
meaning, measurement and determinants of health. Last time, the 
course had 35 students from 8-10 disciplines, years 1-5, and ages 
16-58.  We are teaching a new section limited to 1st and 2nd year 
students from  multiple departments and faculties. Class activities 
include lectures, videos, community guests, fun, community-service 
learning projects, and a final exam.

Does anyone know of  any books or textbooks that deal with population 
health, health promotion, determinants of health and would be 
suitable for 1st-year students. (Suggestions for other relevant 
age-appropriate resources would also be appreciated)

Thanks Jim
