Course Description

This course will enable student to focus on the health status and inequities of populations and family health, address the determinants of health and their interactions, makes decisions based on evidence, apply multiple strategies for the intervention, employ mechanisms for public involvement, collaborates across sectors and levels, increased investments and demonstrate accountability for health outcomes. The course also to introduce frameworks and tools for measuring and understanding and improving the health of populations, both locally, nationally, and globally. These frameworks and tools are derived your core courses of MPH program, especially epidemiology, demography, public health, reproductive health, environmental health, and global health sciences.

Key Course Objectives

Course Goal: Students will be able to apply knowledge of population health in evaluating systemic inequities in population and family health outcomes.

By the end of this course students will be able to:

1. Describe of population and family health frameworks and how to apply the framework to reduce inequities of populations and family health
2. Measure burden of disease in population, including mapping inequities of populations and family health locally, nationally, and global level.
3. Apply epidemiological measures to identify and describe the determinants of population health.
4. Identify the determinants of the determinants of health and apply this knowledge to describe the socio-demographic profiles of populations
5. Evaluate population-based and high-risk individual interventions designed to address population health issues and inequities.
6. Justify particular approaches to improve population health locally, nationally, and globally by using the course concepts, to enable problem solving and decision-making.
7. Demonstrate understanding of Health in All Policies (HiAP) for by identifying the socioeconomic and environmental factors that influence health, describe some of the major contemporary health challenges.
8. Identify the complex and political nature of the policy-making process, identify the characteristics of a “window of opportunity” for policy change, frame a complex health issue and identify its policy challenges and opportunities.
9. Demonstrate understanding of Health in All Policies (HiAP) by list principles for effective and accountable stakeholder consultation.
10. Identify mechanisms for non-government stakeholder involvement in HiAP, prepare a stakeholder analysis and conduct intersectoral negotiations; and explain the roles of the health and non-health sectors in HiAP,
11. Apply the decision-making theory in setting priority of health intervention for population health, and
12. Apply a cost effectiveness analysis for selecting a population health intervention to improve QALY and DALY.
