This course will provide Bachelor of Public Health (BPH) students a culminating experience through a practice-based simulation of community health assessment and community health improvement strategies grounded in the Evidence-Informed Decision-Making model. Students will use a synthesis of the BPH program's core coursework (epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, population health management and policy, and health behavior) augmented by concepts of health equity and systems thinking.

This course provides students with basic knowledge about the issues of global public health and its importance to all peoples of the globe. After receiving an introduction to the principles and goals of global public health, students will begin to acquire functional knowledge of the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of global public health practice.

This course will demonstrate how changes in health behavior can and do impact population-level indicators of morbidity and mortality. Within the context of the socio-ecological framework, students will focus on health behavior theories and interventions targeting the intra- and interpersonal levels of the framework. Students will apply an intervention mapping approach to identify priority needs for health promotion and design health promotion programs. Students will be able to make clear linkages between health promotion practices and the overarching goals of public health.

In this course students are taught the principles and methods of epidemiologic investigations, research methodology, and statistical integration. Major topics include etiologic factors of disease and injury, the distribution of health problems within populations, levels of prevention, and the concept of risk. The design of retrospective, cross-sectional, and prospective studies are examined to illustrate odds ratio, relative risk, life tables, and person-years.

This is a required course for students enrolled in the Master of Public Health program. This course will provide guidance for students in completing a culminating project which draws from elements of the MPH core curriculum and from the student's concentration area. The course will provide students the opportunity to synthesize, integrate and apply the skills and competencies they have acquired to a public health problem.
