Global Health
Discussion
Choose a global health problem that interests you. Now, suppose you’re working for a non-governmental organization (NGO) on that problem and that you’re testing out a community-based intervention to see if it improves your primary health outcome.
- Briefly describe the global health issue you are tackling and which specific health outcome you want to change
- Describe the study you would undertake to test your intervention
- What study type did you choose, and why? (e.g., cross-sectional, case-control, retrospective cohort, prospective cohort, experimental/RCT)?
- What is your study population?
- How will you recruit them?
- Are they similar to your population of interest?
- What potential confounders (if any) do you want to control for?
- What challenges / trade-offs do you anticipate in making your study work?
As always, please remember to respond to two of your classmates for your follow-on participation.
