In the past 100 years, chronic illnesses have surpassed infectious diseases as the primary mortality causes, and health inequalities continue growing worldwide despite medical and technological progress. Harmful habits including smoking, sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating, risky sexual behaviors, drug misuse, and excessive sun exposure significantly contribute to mortality and disability. Societal and structural elements like prejudice, economic hardship, hazardous living/working conditions, and inequitable resource allocation (including healthcare access) likewise impact health outcomes. Through coursework, learners will gain practical experience applying knowledge, developing skills, and improving digital competence. Additionally, students may engage in campus initiatives and/or partner with nonprofits, government entities, and local organizations to advance wellness across Hawaii's multicultural populations.
