Module Overview:
This module examines public health risk at the global level and in the context of globalisation. It explores the key processes of globalisation, such as economic, political, cultural and technological and how they impact the health of populations and their environments. Health risks, such as Tobacco, Alcohol and Diet are identified and their global level strategic responses are evaluated.
