HPM 212 Health Policy Design Implementation and Evaluation

This course is designed to help students understand the design, implementation, analysis, and evaluation of policies that impact population health. We will emphasize the design of policies to achieve outcomes, strategies for implementation of policies and programs, and the analysis, evaluation, and dissemination of program findings.  This course is designed to build student capacity to use evidence effectively in the development, implementation, and evaluation of strategic interventions that target health problems. It includes developing competencies to measure relevant behavior and social change at the population level, particularly among vulnerable populations in urban settings, hard-to-reach areas, and minority communities. The major course outcome will be the development of a proposal responding to a current RFP in the health field.
