HLTH 140Introduction to Health Sciences 1F 3C,1T 0.5
An exploration of the biological basis of health and disease, strategies for prevention and treatment of disease, and the moral, social, and psychological impact of innovations in health care on Canadian society. Topics include human reproduction, (conception, pregnancy and childbirth, sexual development and expression), human heredity (chromosomal disorders, genetic diseases, birth defects), and acute disease states (infectious diseases, cancer, immune deficiencies).
HLTH 141Introduction to Health Sciences 2W 30,1T 0.5
An exploration of the biological basis of health and disease, strategies for prevention and treatment of disease, and the moral, social, and psychological impact of innovations in health care on Canadian society. Topics include the human nervous system (neurological disorders, mental illness, brain dysfunctions, drug abuse), lifestyles and health (heart disease, obesity, exercise, smoking), and health care systems (environmental health, medical abuses, aging, and dying).
The course familiarizes students with the issues involved in understanding how people live and develop within the context of families, and the family interaction with the larger social community. Special emphasis will be placed on health related concerns and the ways in which the family and health care institutions of the society contribute to the physical and emotional health of its members.
Prereq: Helth 140 and 141
Heith 241 W 3c 0.5
Disease Process
An introduction to the study of factors governing the occurrence of diseases in human populations, using selected diseases to illustrate disease mechanisms and identification of risk factors.
This course examines health care delivery systems by considering organizational principles, manpower issues, health resources and economics, service utilization and alternatives to the institutional model. There is a focus on societal and political issues which affect the health of the society through the delivery system.
Prereq: Health Studies students only, or permission of instructor.
HLTH 302Introduction to Biomathematics 1 (MTHEL 302a)F 2C 0.5
Biometry is a biological discipline requiring both a knowledge of mathematics and some basic understanding of specific biological phenomena. The course material has been selected from genetics and gerontology to provide examples of where both mathematics and biology have contributed to the advancement of knowledge in interdisciplinary areas. Prereq: Kin 116 or first year Chemistry or consent of instructor.
HLTH 303Introduction to Biomathematics 2 (MTHEL 302b)W 2c 0.5
A continuation of Biomathematics 1. Topics considered are first order reaction kinetics in biological systems including a discussion of radioisotope and C*4 dating, higher order kinetics including statistical considerations in enzyme kinetics, models for and the measurement of evolution from a knowledge of genetics and protein structure and assessing the relative importance of environmental factors as evolutionary determinants. Prereq: Helth 302.
A study of human biological variation in relation to various physical, biological, and social environmental influences, with emphasis on the relevance of these factors to health and disease. Prereq: Kin 317 or equivalent.
A comprehensive and systematic introduction to the key concepts, methodologies, and issues related to programme evaluation in general and their application to health programmes in particular. Administrative and policy implications as well as the technical/methodological evaluation issues that face individuals involved in administering, planning, implementing, and evaluating health programmes will be discussed.
Prereq/Coreq: Kin 222 and Kin 300 or equivalent basic knowledge in statistics and research design/methodology.
HLTH 348Social Psychology of Health BehaviourW,S 3c 0.5
The study and application of basic social psychological processes in relation to selected health-related’ behaviours (e.g. family planning, overeating, smoking, non-medical drug use, cardiovascular risk factors, patient compliance, medical care utilization).
HLTH 349Principles of Behaviour ModificationF,S 3C 0.5
A course providing a general overview of behaviour modification principles and procedures. Basic principles of reinforcement, punishment, modelling and desensitization are examined as they relate to health behaviour.
HLTH 410Growth, Development and Aging (Kin 410)W 3C 0.5
The changing capacities and interests of man are studied as he grows and develops. The contribution of physical activity to growth, and physical, psychological and sociological development is examined.
An independent research project on an approved topic, supervised by a faculty member. Includes an approved design and completion of the first three chapters of the paper.
An independent research project on an approved topic, supervised by a faculty member. Includes data collection, data analysis and presentation of results in thesis form.
An investigation of the epidemiology of selected “non-infectious” diseases. Specific disease emphasized will vary from year to year (e.g. cardiovascular diseases, malignant neoplasms at | various sites; chronic diseases of respiratory and digesive systems). The course emphasizes identification of risk factors and methodology. Prereq: Health 241 or consent of instructor.
HLTH 443Behavioural Strategies for the Prevention of Chronic DiseasesW 3c 0.5
A critical analysis of various behavioural strategies for the prevention of coronary heart disease, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer. The role of behaviour in the pathogenesis of disease and the feasibility of behavioural change for prevention of disease will be discussed.
A study of current issues pertaining to health and health behaviour. Topics include pertinent research
in the field of health which have significant values to
the individual, family and community, as well as a study of the problem areas in health behaviour. Prereq: Health Studies students only, or permission of instructor.
For the student who desires to pursue a particular topic in depth through guided independent research and/or reading. A faculty member must approve a student’s project prior to registration. May be repeated in subsequent terms.
