En el marco del "Eighth Annual Johns Hopkins Fall Institute in Health Policy and Management" que se celebrará en noviembre se impartirá el curso "The social context of adolescent health and development" impartido por Sara Johnson y Glòria Pérez.

El objetivo del curso es: "This course will provide a framework to integrate biological and sociological influences on adolescent health and development. Developmental biology will be placed within a social context to illustrate how social forces, even those which seem far removed from health, shape biology and behavior during adolescence. Multidisciplinary approaches will be emphasized, principally integrating basic science with the social and behavioral sciences. The course will examine the role of context in individual-level developmental and cognitive processes including: social influences on brain development, decision-making and behavior. Other areas which will be addressed include neighborhood, family, school, media influences, socioeconomic status, and race/ethnicity."
