MPH and PhD students at the Rollins School of Public Health are welcome to register for a 3-credit graduate seminar in the Sociology of Health and Illness (SOC 531). This course will provide graduate students with a survey of research on the social origins of the health, illness, and health care of individuals and populations. Students will be introduced to the process of formulating important social research questions in health and illness, including attention to major theoretical perspectives, measurement of concepts, the merits of various study designs, and both qualitative and quantitative approaches to data collection and analysis.
