CHRONIC DISEASES IN HUMANITARIAN SETTING

CHRNC DIS IN HUMANITARIAN

It is estimated that two-thirds of deaths worldwide are attributable to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), with cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, and chronic lung disease comprising the largest burden of NCDs. However, chronic diseases, including NCDs, have until recently received little attention in humanitarian settings, leaving prevention, care and treatment needs largely unaddressed among some of the most vulnerable populations. The rising numbers of refugees requiring health services, the protracted nature of modern displacement, and the changing demographics of populations living in fragile states have created compelling new health needs and challenges. It is unclear what chronic disease interventions are effective and feasible in such settings, how best to deliver them, and how well interventions are adhering to clinical best practice. As a result, there are increasing calls for a better understanding of chronic diseases and their interventions in humanitarian settings and protracted crises. This course will introduce students to an overview of chronic diseases in protracted crises, including armed conflict and political instability. The course will utilize a combination of lectures, case studies, interactive class discussions, small group exercises and presentations by expert practitioners. Chronic diseases that will be explored include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, chronic respiratory disease. This course will also address chronic disabilities, HIV, tuberculosis and mental health within the spectrum of chronic diseases. An emphasis will be placed on understanding the contextual factors (including forced migration, natural emergencies, armed conflict, political instability and fragile states) that constrain the response to chronic diseases. Using a social and political determinants of health framework, students will gain an understanding of the main topics related to chronic diseases, including access to health care and the health care system, and case studies examining strategies and interventions for promoting health and health outcomes. The needs of vulnerable population sub-groups, including women, children, older persons and forced migrants will receive particular attention in each session. Students will be equipped with both the knowledge and skills to develop and evaluate a program to address chronic diseases, adapted to specific contexts and integrated into national and global humanitarian response systems.

IMMIGRANT HEALTH

Migration is a complex social phenomenon which deeply affects human life. Immigrants face difficulties adjusting to destination environments and are potentially exposed to adverse policies and experiences such as discriminations and stigma, affecting their well-being, regardless of reasons for migration. Understanding migration and its impact on health is important for disease prevention, preserving the health and rights of migrants and assuring the well-being of the communities of which they are a part.   This course will identify and analyze the economic, institutional, socio-political and cultural factors affecting the health and well-being of immigrants in the US.  It will assess past and existing policies and programs to ascertain the extent to which they respond(ed) to the needs of the populations. Students will explore structural factors affecting the health of immigrants, and think critically about programs and policies that address important immigration issues.

PLANNING, MANAGING & COMMUNICATING FOR E

PLN MNG & COMMS EVD PH RE

Evidence-based public health (M Plescia, AJPH 2019) includes making decisions based on peer-reviewed evidence, using data systematically, and disseminating what is learned. Conducting evidence-based public health that reflects the mission and values of the Department of Population & Family Health (PopFam) requires skills to: clarify gaps in knowledge and evidence to explicate how such gaps can be filled; solicit funding and community support for research projects that can inform public health practice; ensure applied public health research is feasible, and carried out efficiently and according to plan; and that the results and “lessons learned” are disseminated to guide next action steps.  This course will provide students with skills to engage in culturally competent public health work from the get-go – recognizing how to be attentive to inclusion and equity in generating research and evaluation questions, project management, and communication and dissemination. This course is designed as a complement to students’ experiences with research or program-based practica and their subsequent capstone/integrated learning experience (ILE); therefore, priority will be given to second-year PopFam students.

DEMOGRAPHY AND PUBLIC HEALTH: UNDERSTAND

DMGRPHY & PUB HLTH: UND T

Each year there are 146 million births, 57 million deaths, and the world population grows by 89 million people – about 243,000 per day or 10,000 an hour. This has an impact on the people and nations of the world--public health; economies; national security, environment, etc. in countless ways. This course focuses on the determinants of these changes and their consequences for the future health and well-being of the human population. This is also an introduction to how demographers study the determinants and consequences of population trends. The course provides an understanding of the field of demography, the study of human populations, and how they change by birth, death, and migration and ultimately shape population health. The course builds on an overview in the CORE to demonstrate demographic issues and methods in public health. The course presents population issues and policies in global contexts as well as in the United States.
