Resource Overview
Representing different countries, students step forward or backward based on health conditions in their borders, to find which countries have an advantage in a final “race for health.” They then analyze different visual data on health spending and health coverage around the globe.
Students will be able to:
- Explain how a country’s economic and social conditions can impact public health.
