Public Health and Dementia 1 CAD504
Hobart
Introduction
This unit examines the evidence base for, and the potential impact of, public health interventions aimed at reducing the incidence of dementia in the general population. The large scale impact of dementia on societies, both current and forecast, is surveyed, and used to inform an evaluation of effective public health strategies designed to reduce this impact. Students choose five content modules from a range of options to tailor their learning to particular interests, and are assessed both online for the content modules, and in the form of a written MyContext assignment requiring the student to directly relate the course material to their individual professional and/or personal context.
