在本次为期三周的研究生课程中,我们将探讨当前中国青少年所面临的种种身心健康问题(如:毒品、抑郁、危险行为、超重、视力损伤、不育、自残等)。通过展开讨论、小组项目研究以及实地调研,同学们将了解当前经济战略是如何向初级卫生保健倾斜,以及直接改善青少年的健康问题政策。

斯坦福中心研究生班致力于将斯坦福大学的前沿研究成果和学习方法带到中国,课程由一名或多名斯坦福教授带领,由6~8名来自斯坦福大学的同学以及相同数量的中国学生组成,创造一个独特、高水平、跨文化的课程学习体验。

 

This three-week graduate level seminar will look at impacts of increasing and numerous problems among adolescent and young adults in China, such as substance abuse, depression, risky behavior, weight gain, visual impairment, infertility, and self-harm. Through active discussion, team-based research projects and site visits, we will examine how current economic strategies are being shifted towards primary health care, and how policies can be adopted to directly improve the health of adolescents and young adults.

 

The SCPKU Graduate Seminar program aims to bring cutting edge research and learning in Stanford to China. Each seminar is led by one or more Stanford faculty and the class is consisted of 6-10 students from Stanford and an equal number of students from China, creating a unique, high-level and cross-cultural learning opportunity.

 

 

Detailed course description:

 

China's extraordinary economic growth has fostered numerous social changes that threaten to offset the benefits of economic prosperity.  Most prominent is rapid urbanization with substantial rural to urban migration.  Resulting changes in health behaviors include increases in smoking, alcohol intake, overweight/obesity, pollutant exposure, and sedentary lifestyles.  These changes exert distinct pressures on different population segments.  Particularly impacted are adolescents and young adults.  Unfavorable changes in their health behaviors presage magnified downstream increases in chronic diseases.  Numerous problems are increasing in this age group, including substance abuse, depression, risky behavior, weight gain, visual impairment, infertility, and self-harm.  China is modifying some economic strategies and shifting towards primary health care as well as adopting policies to directly improve the health of adolescents and young adults.

 

This three-week seminar at SCPKU in Beijing will focus on: 1) classroom discussions led by Stanford and Peking University faculty, and 2) team-based, practical research projects that will develop proposals for innovative prevention research.  Peking University faculty will also facilitate access to local information and resources.  The course emphasizes experiencing Beijing through course-related site visits and students seeing the local culture.  The seminar will culminate in a public symposium led by the faculty where the student teams will also present their project results.  All instruction will be in English. The seminar is a non-unit bearing course.
