Historical and contemporary factors influencingdifferences in health outcomes, including mental health, HIV/AIDS, and other chronic diseases. Explanations ofhealth disparities and of strategies to reduce them.MHS 234-01/ 2330 (Men’s Health Research/ Men’s Health Research and Policy), VanderbiltUniversity Center for Medicine, Health and Society (Spring 2014-present). (MHS 290-14: Research onMen’s Health, Spring 2013). Examines why men’s social and economic advantages do not translate to betterhealth outcomes. We will explore global and domestic issues in men’s health, particularly in Australia, Canada, theUnited Kingdom and the United States. By the end of the course, students will be able to articulate key concepts andtheories that explain men’s health, differentiate strategies to improve men’s health, understand relationships betweencultural values and health policy and describe how cultural explanations for men’s health outcomes shapeadvertising around various men’s health services and campaigns. This course is open to all who are interested inunderstanding how to begin systematically thinking about and addressing men’s health and men’s health disparities.HBHE 622 (Program Evaluation in Health Education), University of Michigan, School of PublicHealth, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education (Fall 2009-Winter 2012). The primaryobjective of this one-semester, three-credit course is to provide a forum for preparing students to examine themethods public health professional use to determine whether and how a program “works”. The course coversfundamentals of study design, the framing of evaluation questions, basic quantitative and qualitative data analysistechniques for assessing program processes and outcomes.HBHE 613 (Men's Health/ Men’s Health Disparities), University of Michigan, School of PublicHealth, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education (Fall 2008-Winter 2012). Men’s healthdisparities is an emerging area of research that examines how the gendered nature of society differentially influencesmen’s health. The field of men’s health includes the investigation of: (1) conditions that are unique to men, (2)
D.M. Griffith, page 5diseases or illnesses that are more prevalent in men, (3) health problems for which risk factors are different in men,and (4) health issues for which different interventions are required for men. While gender has been identified as acritical factor in women’s health, the social and cultural construction of gender and its implications have notgarnered as much attention in men’s health.HBHE 632 (Racial/ Ethnic Health Disparities Research & Interventions), University of Michigan,School of Public Health, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education (Winter 2008-Winter2012). I am teaching this interdisciplinary master's-level course that will help to prepare students to develop andimplement interventions to address racial and ethnic health disparities. The course provides students with afundamental working knowledge of key concepts and terms, historical events, and contemporary topics relevant toproviding a broad and comprehensive foundation for examining scientific literature and conducting basic andintervention research on racial and ethnic health disparities.HBHE 702 (Reducing Racial/ Ethnic Health Disparities), University of Michigan, School of PublicHealth, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education (Fall 2005-Winter 2007). I taught (05-06)and co-taught (with Harold Neighbors, Ph.D.) (06-07) this interdisciplinary doctoral seminar that focuses on theconcept of population health and health disparities between racial/ethnic groups within the United States. Itemphasizes social and historical factors that influence the health of populations and their contributions to racial orethnic health disparities, and examines strategies for intervening to reduce racial/ethnic disparities in health.HBHE 242 (Health Education Field Practicum), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School ofPublic Health, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education (May 2003 – December 2003).
