The description for PUBH5020 Chronic Disease Prevention and Control has changed to the following: This unit provides a systems-informed approach to examining the global issue of chronic diseases. Students will examine major chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers, chronic respiratory disease, and mental illness, and their risk factors. Global, national and sub-national chronic disease prevention strategies are critically considered. This includes weighing up evidence on the effectiveness of primordial, primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies at the population level, and examining the role of health policy and strategic planning in developing effective and sustainable chronic disease prevention programs in different settings (in Australia and globally). The unit also discusses systems approaches to chronic disease prevention, that is considering the complex underlying social, environmental and economic drivers of chronic disease, how these drivers interact, and applying a coordinated and multisectoral approach to preventing chronic disease. |
