Program Planning for Public Health Interventions

Course Description

Determinants of health can range from individual actions to broad social and environmental conditions. Interventions can be directed at the individual, for example helping patients adhere to a low-fat dietary regimen, or to populations as a whole, such as mandating seat belt use. In this course students learn to implement a program planning process that will allow them to develop evidence-based approaches to addressing population health through health promotion.    

The course is organized around intervention mapping, a program planning methodology that takes a social ecological approach, accounting for the influence of both individual and environmental factors on health behavior. The intervention mapping framework includes tools that guide program planners as they incorporate community theory and evidence into an integrated set of activities and materials designed to achieve measurable objectives.
