Course Description | Evidence-based public health (M Plescia, AJPH 2019) includes making decisions based on peer-reviewed evidence, using data systematically, and disseminating what is learned. Conducting evidence-based public health that reflects the mission and values of the Department of Population & Family Health (PopFam) requires skills to: clarify gaps in knowledge and evidence to explicate how such gaps can be filled; solicit funding and community support for research projects that can inform public health practice; ensure applied public health research is feasible, and carried out efficiently and according to plan; and that the results and “lessons learned” are disseminated to guide next action steps. This course will provide students with skills to engage in culturally competent public health work from the get-go – recognizing how to be attentive to inclusion and equity in generating research and evaluation questions, project management, and communication and dissemination. This course is designed as a complement to students’ experiences with research or program-based practica and their subsequent capstone/integrated learning experience (ILE); therefore, priority will be given to second-year PopFam students. |
