Decision Making in Public Health: Evidence, Politics or Diplomacy

Course Content
Building on basic knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods, the course aims to equip students with the skills to systematically assess and critically appraise existing information (literature, reports, websites, databases) as evidence, then to communicate and translate such evidence into improved policy and practice.
