PUBHHBP 6558: Policy as a Prevention Strategy

This course will prepare graduate students on the key elements of how policy can be used as an intervention to promote primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.  Course activities will build skills for the evaluation of when policy is an appropriate strategy, and how to prepare a systematic review of evidence for the use of a policy strategy.  Each student will be able to choose a policy topic and prepare a literature review, policy scan, or health impact assessment as a manuscript formatted for submission to a scientific journal.
