1 May 2013 COURSEWORK PROGRAM: ELECTIVE UNIT DESCRIPTIONS GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN PUBLIC HEALTH MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE STREAM PHM526 Research Design Co-Lecturer: Sharon Chirgwin Assessment: Critical appraisal (1500 words) (20%) Develop a research question ( words) (50%) Choosing a research strategy (2000 words) (30%) How can we tell if published research really answers the question it says it does? How can a health problem be developed into a research question, and how do you choose the best design to answer the question? This unit introduces students to the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of health research and teaches the skills to critically appraise health research literature. Students will learn the steps in developing a research question and gain an understanding of the application and limitations of a range of research designs, including quantitative, qualitative and mixed method strategies. PHM527 Health Research Skills Coordinator: Sharon Chirgwin Assessment: Discussion board (10%) Assignment 1 Essay (1500 words) (20%) Assignment 2 Research protocol (2500 words) (40%) Knowledge translation plan (30%) How do we do good health research and how do you assess the quality of other people s research? This unit equips students with the practical skills required to implement a research design, including ethical conduct, building relationships in research, managing a research project, data collection and storage, communication skills, and translating research knowledge into practice.

2 PHM529 Sexual and Reproductive Health Assessment: Group presentation (10%) Report (2500 words) (40%) Public health strategy or intervention (3000 words) (50%) This unit introduces the key public health concepts and principles in the field of sexuality and reproduction. Public health is concerned with sexual and reproductive health at a population level rather than the individual, and involves maintaining health through social actions such as legislation, policy, advocacy, health promotion, health education, screening/ surveillance and modifying environments. Students will learn how to approach sexual and reproductive health from a public health, human rights and cultural perspective, analyse current data and gain tools for practical service programming for good sexual and reproductive health outcomes. PHM536 Health Systems, Planning and Management Coordinator: Sally Matthews Assessment: Discussion boards x4 (20%) Health systems essay (2500 words) (40%) Planning and Evaluation essay (2500 words) (40%) The aim of the unit is to provide firstly an overview of the Australian Health System, followed by an analysis of the key design challenges and proposed health reform strategies. It will also introduce key concepts around governance, leadership, management and evaluating performance in public health programs. PHM553 Introduction to Biostatistics Coordinator: Mark Chatfield Co-lecturer: Jiunn-Yih Su Assessment: Assignment 1 (20%) Assignment 2 (30%) Assignment 3 (40%) Discussion forums x3 (10%) The purpose of this unit is to provide students with an understanding of fundamental statistical concepts and their application to epidemiological studies. The emphasis of this unit is the application of appropriate statistical methods and interpretation of analyses, rather than the technical and computing aspects.

3 PHM554 Public Health Decision-Making Coordinator: Carol Beaver Assessment: Assessment Item 1: Participation in 3 on-line discussion forums (15%) Assessment Item 2: Essay ( words) (40%) Assessment Item 3: Proposal ( words) (45%) The aim of this unit is to enhance students awareness and appreciation of the role that health economics can play in the planning and delivery of health services and public health. The main focus is on using the tools of economics in health care. This unit will explore the role of economics in supporting decision-making in the healthcare sector. The focus will be on public health activities at the population level rather than individual patient care. On completion of this unit students will be able to assess the relevance and value of health economics and the role health economists play, or could play, in the planning and delivery of health services. The unit will explore how economic tools can assist to clarify the key issues that arise due to scarcity of resources and how they can determine public health priorites. Students will increase their knowledge and understanding of key economic concepts such as economic cost, efficiency and equity as well as decision-support tools used by health economists. PHM559 Health Policy (GDPH only) Coordinator: Jenne Roberts Co-Lecturer: Sally Matthews Assessment: Participation in activities at the intensive (10%) Health policy analysis (40%) Advocacy activity (50%) This unit builds upon a range of skills students have strengthened over the course of their MPH studies and provides an opportunity for students to apply these skills to public health policy development and analysis. The unit is structured around four topics: policy processes; evidence-based health policy; practical approaches to developing health policy; public health policy advocacy. INDIGENOUS HEALTH STREAM PHM517 Public Health Anthropology Coordinator: Kate Senior Assessment: Assignment: Ethnography essay ( words) (30%) Funding proposal (40%) Field log (30%) This unit will explore the relationship between anthropology and public health.

With a focus on the social factors that underlie health behaviours, this unit equips students with the skills to appraise the evidence base in order to plan and implement effective health promotion programs. This unit is taught on-line supplemented with a 3 day on-campus intensive block during the semester. PHM524 Clinical Trials Coordinator: Therese Kearns Assessment: Good clinical practice exercise and essay (35%) Critical appraisal of research (1500 words) (20%) Clinical Trial protocol (2500 words) (45%) Clinical trials are a cornerstone of evidence-based practice in health. This unit equips students with the skills to critically appraise the clinical trials literature, and provides an introduction to issues in the design and management of clinical trials. Students are introduced to key concepts and requirements for ethical conduct and Good Clinical Practice. The steps in developing a research protocol, including trial design and analysis, are examined. Practical issues in project management, clinical trials reporting and interpretation are explored. PHM525 Indigenous Health Research Coordinator: Sharon Chirgwin Co-Lecturer: Alwin Chong Assessment: Research Circles (on-line discussions) (15%) Examine the ethical, intellectual property and cross-cultural issues in published research (2000 words) (40%) Individual Learning Contract (work placement and reflective journal) (1500 words) OR Major Essay (3000 words) (45%) This unit introduces an Indigenous research perspective, in which relationships and accountability to those relationships are fundamental.

5 GLOBAL HEALTH STREAM PHM566 Control of Chronic Conditions Coordinator: Christine Connors Assessment: Assessment 1: Short answer questions x 2 (20%) Assessment 2: Essay ( words) (60%) Assessment 3: On-line discussions x 3 (10%) Assessment 4: Tutorial participation at intensive (10%) Intensive: 1 day This unit examines the epidemiology and control of chronic conditions. The terms chronic disease, preventable chronic diseases, chronic conditions, long term disease/conditions are commonly used interchangeably. In this unit, the term chronic conditions is used as an overarching term. Chronic conditions are those which in most cases can not be cured, only controlled. They have a gradual onset but are long term and persistent; occur across the life cycle although they become more prevalent with older age; are usually not immediately life threatening but can compromise quality of life through physical limitations and disability. Chronic conditions are influenced by underlying social determinants of health that are largely preventable, and if addressed can minimise the onset of chronic conditions. The focus of the unit is on those conditions or diseases, which constitute the metabolic syndrome, or are a direct complication of the syndrome. These include diabetes, hypertension, ischaemic heart disease and renal disease. The emphasis will be on the epidemiology and control of these conditions in Northern Australia, particularly as they affect Aboriginal people. The central role of client and cultural perspectives in informing intervention options will be stressed, and the usefulness of multi-level modelling of disease causation examined. PHM570 Epidemiology and Control of Communicable Disease Coordinators: Stephanie Davis Assessment: Assignment: review questions and STI case study (30%) Critical Appraisal of a paper (20%) Final essay ( words) (30%) Participation in discussion board (20%) This unit is relevant to students interested in extending their skills and knowledge in epidemiology, relevant to the major infectious diseases of humans. It will introduce strategies for communicable disease control and surveillance, and methods for determining and interpreting normal epidemiological and numerical measurements for communicable diseases. Students who are planning to work in remote Australia or international health are advised to include this unit in their elective choices.

6 PHM592 Global Health Semester: Semester 1 Assessment: Table and comment ( words) (20%) Essay (2500 words) (30%) Policy brief (max. 4 pages) (50%) The unit aims to examine the global social, environmental and political elements of the public health of populations. The major thematic areas are: Globalisation and Health International Development & Human Rights Environmental and Social Change and Health * Note: Please enrol in the elective PHM554 Public Health Decision Making if you would like to focus on health economics. PHM593 Tropical Child Health Coordinator: Gabrielle McCallum Semester: Semester 2 Assessment: Assessment 1: Participation in 2 discussions (10%) Assessment 2: Presentation (500 words) (10%) Assessment 3: Controversies group activity (20%) Assessment 4: Essay (3000 words) (60%) This unit explores what is meant by tropical child health, the key determinants of child health in tropical regions and the public health approaches to maintaining and improving child health in tropical regions. It focuses primarily on children with some reference to youth <24 years of age. The unit will explore health issues particular to tropical countries, including both advantaged and disadvantaged populations. The unit is broadly structured around defining tropical health and the particular effects that living in the tropics has on child health and development. It will explore health determinants, particularly environmental factors, the key diseases and health priorities, and the health promotion/prevention and disease control frameworks that are required to maintain and improve the health of children in tropical countries.
