HLTD82H3: Black Community Health: Education and Promotion
This course will delve into health promotion's inequities, notably those impacting Black communities. We examine how social determinants intersect with anti-Black racism, particularly during pandemics like HIV/AIDS and COVID-19. The Toronto Board of Health's 2020 declaration of anti-Black racism as a public health crisis underscores the urgency of addressing this issue, as Black Canadians continue to face disproportionate health disparities in areas such as life expectancy and chronic diseases.
