Throughout the week, we will introduce a selection of systems thinking tools and approaches tools in “hands-on” applied methods sessions, and then apply what has been learned in practical case studies undertaken by individual and group work. The selected tools and approaches will include: mind mapping for intervention integration; social network analysis; process mapping and modelling; causal loop diagrams; group model building.

The course offers examples and practical experiences from low, middle, and high income countries. The key principles and challenges of attaining and maintaining universal coverage, as well as the tools analysed, are relevant to low, middle and high income countries.

1.3 Tackling the challenge of chronic illness from patient/family and health care organization perspective Chronic illness is the health care challenge of the 21st century across countries. This course addresses chronic illness management at the level of patient/family, health care provider (micro level) and health care organization (meso level). The overall goal is to learn how to reengineer and optimize care processes towards evidence based chronic illness management in a range of different health care settings.

The course will make visible what chronic illness management entails at the get rid of space and health care organization level to live with chronic conditions and provide the basic principles on how health care providers can assist patients in behavioral change to adhere to therapies and to modify behavioral risk factors.

We shall discuss the challenges associated with comparing health system performance. Participants are introduced to variety of evaluative techniques and statistical and econometric methods as the course progresses.

2.3 Understanding Research and Biostatistics for Public Health Practitioners and Policy Makers Understanding, evaluating and interpreting the results from medical research is essential for public health practitioners and policy makers. Challenges include appreciating the strengths and biases in study design, understanding the use (and abuse) of statistics, and misrepresentation in the reporting of results. This course will cover matters of study design in medical research, key statistical concepts and critical appraisal of published reports.
