BLCK 3550:Black Women’s Health

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Completion of 30 credit hours
Black women have poorer health outcomes on a variety of psychological and physical measures compared to other groups such as Black men, White men, and White women. This course focuses on why this is by examining the interlocking systemic, interpersonal, and individual stressors shown to negatively impact Black women’s health (e.g., gendered-racism). Students also explore and engage in evidence-based techniques that protect and enhance wellbeing in a variety of populations, including Black women.
