Evaluation of Program Interventions in Global Health

Catalog description

This course provides in-depth training in basic concepts, principles, and practices for impact evaluation of public health interventions in international settings. Examples focus on sexual and reproductive health interventions (including HIV-prevention), but the skills learned apply to all health areas. A team-based project allows students to apply impact evaluation skills (e.g., identification of study designs, indicators, data, analytical approach) to real-life settings. The course provides grounding in evaluation study designs, develops skills in designing evaluation plans, and is a basis for specialized courses on data analysis, sampling, and advanced evaluation research. This course is designed for students interested in program monitoring and evaluation jobs in global contexts and should be taken in lieu of SBPS-6340 and TRMD-6200.
