This course allows students who have some background in the health professions and/or relevant disciplines to gain specialised knowledge in child and adolescent health. The coursework program will allow students to gain considerable contemporary knowledge in the application of psychology to child and adolescent health issues. The unit aims to produce health professionals who are aware of, and can critically evaluate, and integrate into their work practice, culturally relevant, scientific, and methodologically sound research evidence in child and adolescent health. The elective gives students the opportunity to develop discipline-based knowledge and research skills (including qualitative and quantitative data analysis); and an understanding of selected key issues in development and developmental psychopathology in a social and cultural context.
