Public Health in Humanitarian Crises 1

This course, Public Health in Humanitarian Crises 1, introduces students to public health approaches to problems faced by people affected by natural and conflict-related disasters. The course covers the various changes that occur in people's lives as a result of disasters, such as changes in disease patterns, access to health care, livelihoods, shelter, sanitary conditions, nutritional status, and so on. You'll look at what humanitarian interventions might entail if you want to lessen the impact of disasters. The content of the course is a combination of theoretical knowledge and numerous practical examples from recent disasters.

Public Health in Humanitarian Crises 1 is divided into ten modules with a total of 9-10 hours of delivered content and an additional 2-3 hours of self-work (quizzes and writing and evaluating a short peer-review assignment) as well as lively discussion forums. The course is structured in such a way that each module builds on the previous modules' lessons. The modules can be completed in any order, and some can be completed independently.
