This course examines the epidemiology of infectious diseases within an ecological and evolutionary framework. Anthropocentrically, we frequently refer to a person as infected; from the point of view of an infectious agent, humans simply represent an ecological niche. Infectious agents will be studied in terms of their own life cycle, immunology, ecology, evolution, molecular biology and similarities of microbial pathogenicity.

A community¿s health is not just determined by individual health behaviors, but also by cultural beliefs and forms of social organization. Traditional quantitative methodologies, which have been so powerful in understanding biological phenomena, have limited explanatory power in analyzing socio-cultural phenomena. Qualitative methods, long used in the social sciences, allow for the collection, analysis, and interpretation of social and cultural data that quantitative methods cannot adequately reach. In addition, qualitative methods can function as an essential adjunct to quantitative methods by hypothesis generation or identifying lay terminology for accurate survey developed. This course will cover standard qualitative methodologies through a discussion of relevant literature, class exercises, and a class project

Provide MPH students with practical skills to organize and conduct credible and useful evaluations of health or human service projects or programs. Focusing on methods, this course will help students design and critique approaches to answer two key questions central to program evaluation: Is this program working as intended? Why is this the case? Students will learn the theories behind program evaluation and how to prevent or overcome common evaluation planning and implementation challenges and pitfalls. Students will also develop additional skills in designing programs, writing objectives, working with stakeholders, establishing appropriate measures/data gathering tools, designing implementation specifications, analyzing results and presenting findings.
