This course has been taught twice in the past and had previously been prefixed as NURS 210, but is now NMETH 210.
The course explores health topics of interest to undergrads: diet, exercise, health care, access, disparities and equity, cannabis, vaping, COVID and vaccines.
The goal is to help students develop skills and knowledge to become more critical consumers of health information in their everyday lives.
Students will analyze smartphone apps for health and behavior change, and review sources of health information like health blogs, health advice written by influencers, all with a goal of critically appraising the sources of information people use to make their own health decisions.
