Health promotion planning merged with occupational therapy intervention will include design of individual comment group and population-based interventions serving people over the course of the lifespan. Students will examine barriers that comprise health as well as resources to enable person centered and societal impairment toward advancing physical, mental and social well- being. Evidence behind Integrative, complementary and alternative health interventions will be explored to expand health literacy and knowledge of risk versus benefit analysis. Prerequisite: OCT 5225C
