PUBH 522 - Designing and Evaluating Global Public Health Interventions

(3)

Offered as needed. The development and evaluation of culturally appropriate public health interventions is critical in global public health efforts. Using case studies and examples from across the world, students will be introduced to ways in which interventions succeeded and failed due to the level of engagement with and understanding of local populations. Community-based strategies and frameworks will be discussed and assessed. There will be particular emphasis on how thoughtful public health interventions and evaluations can promote health equity and reduce the global burden of disease. Students will identify challenges to implementing and evaluating programs and policies, and will seek solutions to these challenges.
