We often think of health as a self-centric phenomenon that begins and ends with “me”, but as we’ll explore throughout this series our personal health is just one plot line in a rich story of evolving research and policies that make up the world of public health. So what is public health anyway? Well, public health is an approach to preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health for literally everyone. It is a money-saving, life-extending, world-bettering cheat code for improving the world, so we’ll spend the rest of this series examining how and where it is working, where it isn’t working, and how so much of our health is influenced by the world around us.

  1. This course is very timely, I’ve recently gotten really interested in this subject and am seriously considering getting a master’s degree in global public health starting next year, so the timing couldn’t be better 🙂 looking forward to this!!

  2. It’sfunny you should mention Community Gardens as Community Farming was actually very common for a Long time in the Medieval Era, However Royalty wanted control and basically all community Farms were forcibly seized. The example I know of this was by an English Queen iirc.

  3. not me, a senior public health major, watching this video so i’m prepared when someone ask what is my degree for

  4. I start my MPH Monday, this crash course could not have come at a better time for me!!

  5. Public Health number one enemy right now is non-infectious diseases.
    Diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases etc.
    Those diseases will damage future generations in the long run. I work in an Indonesian public healthcare center, and I’ve seen too many millennials and Gen Zs with high blood pressure and high blood glucose.

    The government now is pushing non-infectious disease screening to schools and workplaces. The results are pretty concerning… high sugar intake really took a toll at our young generations…
    I’m sure this is also happening in many parts of the world.

  6. This should be something on ‘why the US is the only developed country in the world without universal healthcare’.

  7. Love love love y’all’s videos. You should do a series on finances! It’s so commonly misunderstood.

  8. This was so great!! At last! A Public Health series from Crash Course!! Definitely reliable reference for my students. Thank you!☺️

  9. Wow 🤩🤩🤩 It was something out of the world,, thanks a lot mam 😄🌸🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼💐
