Philosophy of Public Health

In a lecture and two workshops, the PPH SCL will tackle the topics of public participation and the nature of expertise and knowledge.

Methodology 

The methodology SCL will involve two working lectures. In the first, we will introduce the constructivist approach and we will go into three specific narrative instruments to shape a reality: narrative structure, metaphors, and numbers. Students will practice this by applying this method on a specific policy report. In the second, we will introduce participatory research and consider some examples. We will explain basic characteristics of this methodology like openness, engagement, time, flexibility, collaborative interpretation, and evaluation. You will practice this by applying this method on a specific public health problem. There will a combined open question assignment for both topics, to be completed in pairs.

This allows for studying the relationship between a dichotomous/binary dependent variable and one independent variable. This will be extended to multiple logistic regression analysis, which allows for studying relationships between one dichotomous/binary dependent variable and more independent variables. This extension may be needed to control for the influence that other variables may have on the association of interest (i.e. to correct for confounding).  

Policy advocacy

In a series of three lectures, students will meet with the challenges of public health professionals working in policy advocacy at the European and global level.
