| Specific entry requirements | |
| Intended learning outcomes | At the end of the course the student should be able to: 1. Define core concepts in intervention and implementation research 2. Understand the concept of evidence-based public health 3. Understand how to critically appraise published intervention and implementation studies, as well as systematic reviews in public health 4. Design an intervention study, which includes a relevant problem theory and a programme theory, as well as appraisal of ethical aspects 5. Design the implementation of an evidence-based programme or practice, and describe the design of the evaluation |
| Contents of the course | As this course aims at giving doctoral students knowledge in theory, method and practice in the field of public health intervention and implementation research, the content focuses on the following themes: 1. Models and frameworks, including core concepts and their interrelation, within the field of intervention and implementation research 2. How to apply a theoretical perspective based in public health science, using relevant change theories 3. Models of intervention and implementation programmes in a multilevel perspective and the design of evaluation studies 4. Intervention and implementation core components, success factors and barriers 5. Application of ethics on specific subjects/areas of intervention, implementation and evaluation 6. Systematic and critical appraisal of published intervention and implementation studies 7. Dissemination of scientific results |
| Teaching and learning activities | The course is based on lectures in combination with seminars in order to promote a reflective, analytical and critical approach towards this research field. The course will also use group work and group discussions to promote the students active participation in their learning process, as well as the ability to accomplish tasks both individually and in groups. All teaching activities aim at enhancing the student¿s ability to apply for example core concepts and theory/theoretical frameworks, not the least ethical aspects, in an analytical and reflective practice of their own in order to apply this on the students own research projects. |
| Compulsory elements | Participation in scheduled seminars and group work is compulsory. Absence is compensated through a written summary of the literature for the seminar where the absence occurred. |
| Examination | The students' knowledge and skills in theory, method and practice in the field of public health interventions and implementation research will be assessed in relation to the expected learning outcomes through the following examinations: a. Active participation in seminars with presentations, in discussions and short seminar reports b. A written project report and individual oral presentations of the reports |
| Literature and other teaching material | Compulsory literature: Brownson RC, Colditz GA, Proctor EK (2012). Dissemination and implementation research in health. Translating Science to Practice.
