This course focuses on how persons, communities, and public policy and organizations influence health disparity, health and wellness, and occupational participation. Students will learn how occupational therapy influences public policy, systems, and population health and wellness. Students will explore, through systematic observation, interview, and analyze the determinants of population-based health and wellness, barriers, and supports to occupational participation, and the concepts of occupational and social justice. Students will explore and evaluate the factors that influence the delivery of health care and occupational therapy and advocate for individuals and populations at large within the systems that support or influence occupational participation, the profession of occupational therapy, and the consumers of occupational therapy services.
