| Description | Health promotion and socio-behavioural science involves investigating the how the actions of individuals, groups, organizations and communities promote health, prevent disease and foster informed decision-making on health risks. We are committed to the values of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, which views health as a positive concept—a foundation for everyday living—that includes social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. These values emphasize processes that enable people to increase control over and improve their health, along with a focus on partnership and sensitivity to local health needs. This thesis-based program is designed to enhance students' research knowledge and skills. Graduates are prepared for doctoral level work and are equipped for research-related positions. | | |
