Overview

Community Health and Prevention at Drexel University focus on a range of topics including public health ethics, the individual, social and structural determinants of health, the use of theory to understand health behavior, and the implementation and evaluation of public health interventions and policies.

Key facts:

They are leaders in health education, community organization, and advocacy efforts that promote the health of communities in domestic and global settings.
