Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The purpose of this course is to examine reproductive health issues, programs, services, and policies in developed and developing countries.

Course Content: • Overview of global reproductive health: assessment, assurance, and advocacy
• Special populations (with a focus on stigma and its affect on reproductive health) and surveillance
• Environmental concerns and global reproductive health
• Sexually transmitted infections, HIV/AIDS, and cervical cancer: prevention, control, and treatment variations internationally
• Abortion (medical and surgical) and unintended pregnancy
