Course Information
Persistent challenges in public health—such as health disparities, disease prevention, and implementation of evidence-based interventions—often resist change. Factors at multiple levels interact in complex ways to produce outcomes that impact health and wellbeing. Systems thinking is an approach that uses strategies and tools for better understanding complex problems. In this course, students learn to apply practical approaches for identifying feedback dynamics driving outcomes and interventions tailored to context.
