Course Description

 

It is well known that there is a “social gradient of health,” or an inverse relationship between socioeconomic status and physical and mental health.  However, most public health professionals conceptualize socioeconomic status using a stratificationist theoretical approach, but this neglects critical factors.  In this webinar, Dr. Seth Prins discusses two other relational theoretical approaches to conceptualizing socioeconomic status: Weberian and Marxian.  He discusses how these approaches impact our understanding of socioeconomic status and class on mental health, including depression and anxiety, and some of their mechanisms and causal pathways.  Dr. Prins also describes epidemiological research into mental health and and how these social determinants of health manifest in the modern workforce.

 

Course Objectives:

To distinguish between socioeconomic status and class

To describe stratificationist, Weberian, and Marxian theoretical approaches to social inequality

To describe what it means to apply a class perspective to psychiatric epidemiology research

To explain the impact of social inequality on mental health from multiple theoretical perspectives
