All Classes
Stress and Health in Urban Communities

Credit: 3 hours.

This Grand Challenge Learning experience course is part of a 3-year pilot and is certified for General Education credit for Social Science. Students in this course will explore big questions about how stress can get "under the skin" and affect health outcomes, specifically health disparities. Class activities will include analyzing data from African American mothers living in stressful neighborhoods due to high levels of violence. Students will also help to develop aspects of an innovative prevention and research program called DREAM (Developing Response to Poverty through Education And Meaning). The DREAM program will provide stress-reduction activities to the mothers and their daughters and evaluate whether or not you can get stress "out from under the skin."

Same as GCL 150. Prerequisite: Restricted to first-time new freshman.
