RURAL AND URBAN SETTINGS |
| Course Code |
FF200 |
| Course Length |
15 Hours |
| Course Description |
This course will develop ideas and plans to address the high fire incidence among populations based
on socioeconomic factors. Rural and urban settings are taken as samples. This new course is designed
for students who work in the field of prevention. Students learn to focus on the socioeconomic factors
that contribute to high fire incidence among populations in rural and urban areas. Values, attitudes,
and behaviors as well as social and economic characteristics will be evaluated. Effective change
techniques, existing programs, and community collaboration are reviewed to develop effective
solutions to community high-risk target groups. Course content includes how socioeconomic factors
play a significant role in high incidence of fire, fire deaths, and fire injuries; attitudes, values, and
behaviors of population at high risk for fire; poverty and low education levels may explain up to one third
of the variation in fire deaths; reaching into neighborhoods to create change for populations that
are at high risk for fire; and program issues for high-risk groups in rural and urban groups.
Participants take a short multiple-choice exam on key course concepts.
