Participatory Approaches in Public Health Specialization

Applying Participatory Approaches in Public Health. Evaluate different participatory tools, critique the role of social-cultural factors in health contexts, and design an approach to public health challenges which is participatory in nature.This specialisation guides learners through the process of designing an appropriate participatory approach to a given public health challenge, focusing on the history, theory and practice of participatory approaches to public health. You’ll gain an understanding of the impact of social and cultural contexts in which public health programmes exist, as well as, why participatory approaches could better assist in meeting the population’s needs and solving certain health-related challenges.

Applied Learning Project

Learners will develop a proposal for a Participatory Action Research (PAR) project, conduct a stakeholder analysis, provide a rationale of why some voices can be left out, and engage in a test which assesses their comprehension of public involvement in research.
