CHL5132H: Population Health Intervention Research (PHIR)

This course examines different theoretical and methodological foundations related to the study of population health interventions and their health equity impacts. These interventions include, for example: policies, programs, events and other phenomena that impact a number of people by tackling the socio-structural, cultural, and environmental determinants of health within and outside of Canada. The course will provide students with an opportunity to grapple with the different concepts and terms that are in use to study these interventions, including but not limited to implementation science, program science, public health policy evaluation and health impact assessment. It will address knowledge translation and exchange and partnership approaches as they relate to the implementation and to the scale-up of interventions. The course will also address this material through the lens of current topics related to, for example, healthy cities, global health, clinical public health, etc.
