- Current trends and movements, including the role of social media in the provision of health care information for improved health literacy; mass incarceration and criminal justice reform; and new efforts toward resolving health disparities. - Case studies and problems that engage students in thinking about health disparities/equity and diversity issues and prompt them to consider possible solutions.
