Foundations of Public Health Sciences
Description:
Public health is “the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life,
and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed
choices of society, organizations, public and private communities, and
individuals.” — CEA Winslow (CDC, 2021).
But what constitutes public health sciences? This course is foundational
for all those seeking a doctorate in any of the fields of public health
sciences. Concept, definition, and history of public health, population
health sciences, and applied public health will be addressed. It introduces
students to basics of public health surveillance, population health
monitoring, and prevention sciences.
Our aim is to make sure that all public health graduates can understand
how their specific focus fits within the broader and interdisciplinary
nature of public health sciences and can communicate about public healthsciences with health scientists and public health stakeholders.

Epidemiological concepts, principals, and methods: A practice-oriented introduction
Description:
Epidemiology is the branch of medical sciences that investigates the
distribution of health-related states and events in specified populations
(community, institutions [schools], city, state, country, region, continent,
worldwide). Epidemiology also includes the assessment of any intervention
applied to remediate a health problem.
In this introductive course, we will treat the following topics- Definition, objectives and objects of modern epidemiology (i.e., types of outcomes and their determinants/exposures).
- Validity and precision of exposure and outcome
- Study designs and association measures
- Causal framework and the role of chance and bias in epi-studies
- Principles of good study design and protocol drafting
- Different concepts will be introduced using contemporary examples from exposure-oriented (nutritional, occupational and environmental epidemiology) and outcome-oriented epidemiology (i.e., communicable and non-communicable diseases and clinical epidemiology).
- To assimilate these notions, students will be stimulated to precise/redefine their original research question and hypotheses considering the study design appropriate in their chosen context.

Communication, Marketing and Social Media - CMSM
Many of the significant challenges health professionals and managers face in public health involve convincing
individuals to change and adopt behaviors and decision making processes. The mere dissemination of information
is often insufficient to convince people to take action. In addition, the growing spread of misinformation,
disinformation, conspiracy theories, and rumors through online platforms has become a major challenge in public
health activities. The course will introduce participants to social and behavioural communication and change principles, as well as to social marketing approaches in LMICs in practice.

GIS for Public Health
Description:
The physical and social environment that surrounds us plays an important
part in our health and wellbeing. The geography concept of ‘place’ thus
cannot be ignored in public health. Whether investigating the level of
environmental pollution, access to recreation or health services, or the
patterns or spread of disease, Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
provide the standard platform for exploring spatial attributes and
relationships between our environment and health.
This course offers an introduction to GIS and how it is used in public health
and epidemiological research, with a focus on exposure assessment. It will
introduce students to the basics including: working with and integrating
spatial and non-spatial data; geographic scale and spatial precision;
projections; geocoding; visualisation; thematic mapping; and
understanding spatial relationships. Specific skills and tools will also be
introduced in relation to methods for route analysis and for spatial linkage
of exposure, contextual and confounder information for epidemiological or
health risk assessment studies. Students will apply their new skills in a case
study based either on their own data or on available datasets for defined
topics.
This course will be a mix of lectures, demonstrations and plenty of practical
time for hands-on data analysis in industry standard GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS, R).
No prior knowledge of GIS is required, though completion of pre-course
work is essential preparation for this intensive course.- Dates: 06.11.2023 – 10.11.2023

Forced migration: Sexual and Reproductive Health of Migrant Women
Description:
Sexual and reproductive health is a fundamental human right and critical
component of women’s quality of life. The ramifications and challenges
of forced displacement, migration, and resettlement complicate access
to sexual and reproductive health for asylum seeking, refugee, and
undocumented women and their families. Barriers to healthcare, health
literacy, and heightened rates of sexual and gender-based violence
(SGBV) contribute to worsened SRH health outcomes for women and
their infants.
The purpose of this course is to understand:
Sexual and reproductive healthcare
Specific SRH risks for women in forced migration (SGBV)
Processes of forced displacement and limited access to care (in
transit, in refugee camps and after displacement)
Best practice models to improve SRH access and outcomes for
women in forced migration- Dates: 15.11.2023 – 17.11.2023

Public health surveillance and population health monitoring (advanced module)
Description:
Public health surveillance is the ongoing and systematic collection,
analysis, and interpretation of health-related data, closely integrated
with their timely dissemination and communication to those responsible
for public health strategies and action on disease prevention and control.
Methods and tools for surveillance and population health monitoring,
initially developed for infectious diseases and outbreak control, are now
applied to other health conditions like chronic diseases, mental health or
occupational and environmental health.
With the advances in the field of data science and the growing access to
multiple types and increasing volumes of data, the field of surveillance
and health monitoring is going to adapt and evolve rapidly. This includes
moving to a wider scope of applications, for example, surveillance may
also include monitoring of risk factors associated with adverse health
events or monitoring of health care services. This also implies using new
methods for analyzing data, as well as tools for visualizing and
communicating data, depending on target publics.- Dates: 20.11.2023 – 23.11.2023

Qualitative Health Research: ADVANCED module: Appraising qualitative health research
Description:
Qualitative health research helps grasp behaviors and practices of patients and populations at risk, combined with the meaning health professionals and stakeholders give to their practices and actions, those both being known to underlie and influence health practices. By giving particular attention to the context of an intervention, qualitative research is particularly effective for evaluating programs and practices in the public health field. It allows to reflect on the broader health care context, with its socio- cultural and historical features.

Public Health Law and Ethics
Description:
The challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic have illustrated the importance of law for dealing with such a major public health crisis (e.g., non-pharmaceutical interventions, which are mainly based on law and regulation). The same applies to non-communicable diseases, where law and regulation are essential to address the ongoing challenges. The course offers an introduction to law and ethics in public health practice through three related topics: 1) Public Health Law: normative analysis of how law shapes context (e.g., social determinants of health such as the environment, education, housing, and work) and how law influences behavior (e.g., legal tools such as command and control, information, and incentives).
2) Legal Epidemiology: scientific study and deployment of law as a factor in the cause, distribution, and prevention of disease in a population. The effective use of legal action for public health depends on the availability of rigorous and timely evaluation of the impact of law and legal practice on health. This evaluation is critical in a federal state such as Switzerland, where most public health regulations are adopted at a cantonal level (e.g., impact assessment of mask mandates in schools on the appearance of clusters).
3) Public Health Ethics: introduction to ethics; public health ethics; ethics in human, animal, and health data research; the role of ethics committees

Systematic Reviews and Evidence Synthesis
Description:
A systematic review (SR) is a review of the scientific literature on a specific research question that adopts explicit and standardized methods to minimize potential biases and thus provide more reliable findings to support decision-making and to guide future research. It is a key element for evidence-based medicine and public health (EBM&PH). Our course is designed for PhD students and researchers who want to know how SRs can be used within healthcare and public health to inform decisions making within and an EBM&PH framework. The participants will learn how to conduct a SR and synthesize evidence and the process from the initial research question to best practice reporting results. They will apply statistical methods and tools to conduct SR and meta-analysis (MA) (risk of bias tool to assess the methodological quality of studies; meta-analytic methods to quantitative summarize evidence; GRADE framework to assess the confidence in the results). Examples will be taken from experimental and observational research.

Introduction au droit et à la recherche juridique
Introduction:
Le CAS Droits des patients et santé publique a l’ambition de faire un état des lieux de l’ensemble des droits des patients en Suisse, sans oublier le cadre international et européen auquel ils sont intimement liés. Un exercice de jonglage législatif est proposé pour présenter l’ancrage de ces droits au niveau fédéral et cantonal. Commençant par les droits fondamentaux, le programme développe les droits des patients en tenant compte de différents critères, tels que le cycle de vie (début et fin de vie), les personnes vulnérables (incarcérées, incapables de discernement, en situation de handicap), etc. A cela s’ajoutent les grands thèmes du consentement éclairé du patient, la protection des données médicales, les responsabilités professionnelles. La réglementation des professions médicales y est également intégrée compte tenu du fait qu’un meilleur encadrement juridique des professions de la santé profite directement au respect des droits des patients.

Public health research and practice continue to be challenged by people’s
unequal chances of living full and healthy lives and by other social
problems, like communication problems, that negatively affect people’s
health and healthcare, or public health efforts. Key social sciences
concepts, including social status, social interactions and capital, can help
elucidate various public health problems from the social determinants of

Life Course Epidemiology and Public Health
Description:
Population health is shaped by a complex set of determinants occurring throughout the life course. Life Course Epidemiology (LCE) aims to causally link exposures across the life course to long-term health outcomes via longitudinal studies. LCE investigates the dynamic of exposures at different periods of life (from conception to old ages), at various levels (social, environmental, behavioural, and biological) and historical periods (birth cohorts), and how these exposures influence population health. For this course, we focus on LCE in public health whereby unravelling the complex origins of disease and health aims at informing preventive strategies. Life course epidemiology informs public health interventions via i) identification of windows of opportunity (life periods), ii) identification of target exposures and iii) assessment of potential intervention strategies. Stemming from the same framework, we introduce life course theories and contemporary methods of causal inference from observational data, allowing to explicit confounding assumptions underlying LCE research questions and to evaluate potential public health interventions. More specifically, we will address the following topics:
- Why life course studies are essential in Public Health, with an emphasis on early life determinants and primordial intervention of chronic diseases.
- Core epidemiologic study designs of life course studies (birth and prospective cohort studies).
- Main life course models (critical/sensitive period and accumulation) through
- which exposures may affect later health outcomes.
- Causal thinking and statistical methods to assess LCE models from observational data

Introduction into Multilevel Modelling of Clustered Data
Description:
Real data are often clustered such as repeated measurements on the same
subject or measurements in grouped subjects (e.g. family or school
studies). Failure to allow for clustering results in erroneous standard errors
and confidence intervals. The aim of the course is to provide participants
with an under-standing of the basic concepts and general techniques in the
analysis of clustered data. Valid analysis methods appropriate for clustered
data will be introduced. The course software will be Stata, although R may
also be used. Main concepts to be covered include: clustering, random
intercept, random slope, linear and logistic random-effects models
(multilevel models, mixed models, hierarchical models), robust standard
errors, generalized estimating equations (GEE), modelling strategy, model diagnostics.- Dates: 03.07.2024 – 05.07.2024

Basic Biostatistics
Objective:
In this module you learn how to transparently describe data that was collected for a given study. In addition you learn how to make inferences and draw conclusions that go beyond the current data set and make statements about the underlying population of interest. Furthermore, the information in the data set has to be condensed and presented in an understandable fashion. For this
- you reduce data by calculating group level quantities (like means, risks etc)
- you quantify and interpret the amount of statistical uncertainty in your data, mostly by using 95% confidence intervals
- you make the first steps in using a statistical software (R) for data description, data transformation and simple statistical analyses (you will receive a temporary Stata license for this)
- you communicate appropriately the results obtained
- you translate specific questions into relevant statistical quantities of interest

Introduction to the Statistical Software R
Description:
This course is a practical introduction to R, a free open-source software environment for statistical computing. Besides an introduction into the software, the following topics will be covered: data import and export, data manipulation, statistical analysis, graphical representation and advanced programming concepts as conditional branching and loops. Students should bring their own laptop for the practical work. In contrast to other statistical software solutions, R is designed around a true computer language. This has the implication that R is characterized by an enormous flexibility that enables the user to perform sophisticated statistical procedures or simulations. R might be less intuitive to scientists without prior programming skills. However, there are some tools available to make the user’s life easier as graphical user interfaces and editors with syntax highlighting. Participants should have basic statistical knowledge. Programming skills are not required. The first 2 days are mainly lectures and practical courses. The 3rd day is a workshop and participants are divided into groups to apply the new knowledge to their own data. Note: the 3rd day is optional. First year PhD students or other participants without own data can alternatively complete a homework assignment to get the credit points.

Epidemiological data analysis strategy
Description:
This 5-day in-person course, comprising a mix of lectures and hands-on
practicals, is designed for students who wish to learn about strategies for
epidemiological data analyses. The course will cover framing the research
question and translating this into an appropriate study design, the
principles of statistical modelling including the choice of model and
interpreting the output, model building strategies, and key concepts of
confounding and effect modification. We will guide the learning through
real-life examples. The focus will be on analysis strategies, not the
execution of the analysis. However, the course will cover interpretation of
results from statistical models in order to consolidate students’
understanding of the models, inform their choices in analysis strategies,
and gain experience in reporting model results. No particular statistical
analysis software will be required, but practical examples will be demonstrated using software such as Stata or R.- Dates: 23.09.2024 – 27.09.2024

Epidemiological concepts, principals, and methods: A practice-oriented introduction
Description:
Epidemiology is the branch of medical sciences that investigates the
distribution of health-related states and events in specified populations
(community, institutions [schools], city, state, country, region, continent,
worldwide). Epidemiology also includes the assessment of any intervention
applied to remediate a health problem.
In this introductive course, we will treat the following topics- Definition, objectives and objects of modern epidemiology (i.e., types of outcomes and their determinants/exposures).
- Validity and precision of exposure and outcome
- Study designs and association measures
- Causal framework and the role of chance and bias in epi-studies
- Principles of good study design and protocol drafting
- Different concepts will be introduced using contemporary examples from exposure-oriented (nutritional, occupational and environmental epidemiology) and outcome-oriented epidemiology (i.e., communicable and non-communicable diseases and clinical epidemiology).
- To assimilate these notions, students will be stimulated to precise/redefine their original research question and hypotheses considering the study design appropriate in their chosen context.

Qualitative Health Research: ADVANCED module: Appraising Qualitative Health Research
Description:
Qualitative health research helps grasp behaviors and practices of patients and populations at risk, combined with the meaning health professionals and stakeholders give to their practices and actions, those both being known to underlie and influence health practices. By giving particular attention to the context of an intervention, qualitative research is particularly effective for evaluating programs and practices in the public health field. It allows to reflect on the broader health care context, with its socio- cultural and historical features.

GIS for Public Health
Description:
The physical and social environment that surrounds us plays an important
part in our health and wellbeing. The geography concept of ‘place’ thus
cannot be ignored in public health. Whether investigating the level of
environmental pollution, access to recreation or health services, or the
patterns or spread of disease, Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
provide the standard platform for exploring spatial attributes and
relationships between our environment and health.
This course offers an introduction to GIS and how it is used in public health
and epidemiological research, with a focus on exposure assessment. It will
introduce students to the basics including: working with and integrating
spatial and non-spatial data; geographic scale and spatial precision;
projections; geocoding; visualisation; thematic mapping; and
understanding spatial relationships. Specific skills and tools will also be
introduced in relation to methods for route analysis and for spatial linkage
of exposure, contextual and confounder information for epidemiological or
health risk assessment studies. Students will apply their new skills in a case
study based either on their own data or on available datasets for defined
topics.
This course will be a mix of lectures, demonstrations and plenty of practical
time for hands-on data analysis in industry standard GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS, R).
No prior knowledge of GIS is required, though completion of pre-course
work is essential preparation for this intensive course.- Dates: 11.11.2024 – 15.11.2024

Public health surveillance and population health monitoring (advanced module)
Description:
Public health surveillance is the ongoing and systematic collection,
analysis, and interpretation of health-related data, closely integrated
with their timely dissemination and communication to those responsible
for public health strategies and action on disease prevention and control.
Methods and tools for surveillance and population health monitoring,
initially developed for infectious diseases and outbreak control, are now
applied to other health conditions like chronic diseases, mental health or
occupational and environmental health.
With the advances in the field of data science and the growing access to
multiple types and increasing volumes of data, the field of surveillance
and health monitoring is going to adapt and evolve rapidly. This includes
moving to a wider scope of applications, for example, surveillance may
also include monitoring of risk factors associated with adverse health
events or monitoring of health care services. This also implies using new
methods for analyzing data, as well as tools for visualizing and
communicating data, depending on target publics.- Dates: 25.11.2024 – 28.11.2024
