Course # 37730 There is no economic health without public health. The interdependencies between national and international health are growing in the face of persistent health inequities within and between countries. This course begins with an introduction to the research and measurement tools needed to inform good policies and programs. We then examine the structures and institutions that influence global health, including the social determinants of health equity, global health governance and security, health behavior and incentives, and health systems and financing. We will also study several key topics for global health policy, including infectious diseases and immunization, nutrition and non-communicable diseases, and reproductive and maternal health. Many of the course readings are impact evaluations, and throughout the course students will be tasked with determining and defending what policy and programs recommendations they would make based on evidence.
