Community Assessment and Program Planning
This course will teach the basics of community health assessment and public health program planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. This will include learning data collection techniques, program design, data analysis strategies, and how to present evaluation findings to different audiences. Students will then apply the lessons learned in class by developing a project plan for a hypothetical public health program.
