I live in Lexington, N.C. I have three wonderful children. They are studying and finishing the Master's degree in their respective Universities. I love to teach and help students achieving their goals. I have been a practicing physician and Gynecologist & Obstetrician in Pakistan plus I have over 15 years of experience in this field. I did my PhD in Public Health in 2022. I absolutely love to engage in community for better health and prevention.

Description

In the context of public health, behavior change addresses the efforts put in place to change people's personal habits and attitudes, to prevent disease and save on healthcare costs. In this course, students will be introduced to behavioral change theories (that include environmental, personal, and behavioral characteristics as the major factors in behavioral determination) in an attempt to explain why individual and community behaviors change and how this can impact the health of the community.
