This course provides an introduction to systems thinking and systems models in public health. Problems in public health and health policy tend to be complex with many actors, institutions and risk factors involved. If an outcome depends on many interacting and adaptive parts and actors the outcome cannot be analyzed or predicted with traditional statistical methods. Systems thinking is a core skill in public health and helps health policymakers build programs and policies that are aware of and prepared for unintended consequences.

Лучшие отзывы о курсе SYSTEMS THINKING IN PUBLIC HEALTH
I thought this course was top notch - the lectures were very well designed and course production quality was first rate. An excellent introduction to an important subject area.
It's systematic and well-structured to introduce a new concept of problem solving. It's really effective in making me learn from the scratch and ready to apply them.
The course is easy to understand and the lecturer are well read about the subject. It will be very helpful to me in near future working as a public health worker
The course is very insightful. I learnt a lot of new concepts and I hope to spend more time to master the skill of using the great tools for creating models.
