Students are introduced to determinants of health and social wellbeing, encouraged to challenge 'common-sense' approaches and misconceptions, and promote health and welfare of children and adolescents. Translational research and interventions for improving developmental outcomes are reviewed, including systemic and innovative applied practices in developmental and behavioural health, education, child welfare, and law.
