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.
