This course will introduce the fundamental structure of the health system, with a special focus on the role of health policy and governance in achieving higher performance. The design and analytical frameworks for health systems and policies, as well as critical global health issues will be introduced. By the end of this course, students are expected to be familiar with key health system challenges and corresponding policy options, and be able to apply the analytic frameworks and practical tools presented in this course to identify and address problems in health systems.

本講義は社会的包摂を目指したpublic healthの実践のために必要な基礎理論と現状に関する知見を共有することで、より演習・実践的な議論を予定しているＡ２タームの社会と健康IIに参加するために必要な準備をしてもらうことを目的としている。健康や生活機会に格差があることはすでに社会的事実となっている。これを克服するために社会的包摂の重要性や健康の社会的決定要因に対する政策的取り組みなどの必要性も認識されている。にも関わらずそれが現実に展開が見られないのはなぜか、それを克服するにはなにが必要かを考察してもらう。

Food safety is a public health issue. With the aim of protecting consumer health, foods (including water) must be kept contaminant-free from farm to fork. The environment is a source of hazardous contaminants (i.e., biological, chemical, and physical) that could impair health resulting in malnutrition, morbidity, and mortality with the young (<5 years old), elderly, and immuno-compromised particularly vulnerable. Public health is, therefore, inextricably linked with environmental health. As such, programs for food safety assurance need to be holistic and transdisciplinary to be effective. The World Health Organization (1999) identifies the health sector as having the lead role in the implementation and coordination of programs on food safety. This requires an educated workforce that can identify environmental factors affecting food that impact consumer health. In this class, we will discuss food safety-related environmental hazards, their mode of contamination, and the underlying mechanism of the risk they pose to human health. Emerging and perennial foodborne illnesses will be discussed from the concept of One Health – a transdisciplinary approach of considering not only the issue at hand, but all the other upstream factors related to it. At the end of the class, students should be able to apply a holistic approach in understanding issues on food safety.

社会学を基本軸として、健康を社会的文脈で考察する知的基盤を提供する。社会疫学や健康の社会的決定要因などを社会・経済学理論と整合的に理解することを助ける。具体的には社会学理論を鳥瞰したうえで、健康科学との接点として医療・医師・社会的健康決定要因などを題材として取り扱う。 Will provide sociological theory basis to consider health in social context rather than in bio-medical frame, support to theoretically understand the basis of social epidemiology, or the concept such as social determinants of health. Specific focus will be put on themes such as social stratification and health, health impacts of built environment and social environment, medicalization and clinical gaze, and sociology of body/embodiment.

This course introduces students to environmental health perspectives on how environmental factors influence human health at individual and population levels. Students will understand basic concepts and methods to assess environmental exposures and health effects. Studies for specific environmental factors (air pollution, water pollution, weather and climate variability) associated with health will be covered and discussed in the course.

健康・医療を、医学的観点から離れて社会的文脈の中で読み返し、社会現象として健康という事象が生成される様を批判的に勉強してもらう。またそれとあわせて、医療という社会行為が持つ意義について考察を深めてもらう。
