HMP 5002 Policy Analysis for Population Health 3.0 Credits
This course prepares students to understand the basics of policy making and evaluate and conduct policy research to improve the health of populations. The content of this course is divided into two sections: one focused on the policy process and one focused on policy outcomes research. Learning how policy is produced is critical for understanding the "real world" contexts in which health policy decisions are made, and more effectively impact policy change. Policy outcomes research is focused on generating knowledge about the impacts that policies produce. The purpose is to determine the outcomes that are directly attributable to a specific policy, not other factors.
