Population Health Interventions
Tomorrow, I start POP 8930, Population Health Interventions.
"This course examines approaches to influence population health. Contextual influences on and interactions between individual and population health approaches for health promotion, disease prevention and risk management. Process for establishing transdisciplinary teams and intersectoral partnerships. Sustainable systems change, including health care reform and policy development."
"Overall course objectives are described in this section. Additional objectives are defined for each of the three blocks in the course.
1. To analyze the theoretical foundations for and underlying assumptions of population health interventions.
2. To examine the evidence base supporting population health interventions.
3. To review and critique alternative strategies for identifying population health needs.
4. To consider population health interventions that may reduce inequity gaps.
5. To identify pertinent multi-jurisdictional and intersectoral influences on population health interventions.
6. To debate the relative contributions (immediate and sustained) of alternative population health interventions to achieve improvements in health."
Faculty: Nancy Edwards, Michelle Giroux, and invited guests
