This course will review current knowledge on the design and implementation of interventions to reduce health disparities and will provide students with plans and tools for creating and evaluating their own interventions to reduce or eliminate disparities. First, we will define health disparities from a broad variety of settings. Then we will review a model for intervention design applied to health disparity settings. We will apply study design and methodology to the evaluation of interventions. We will work through the steps of the intervention process, focusing on both the evidence needed at each step and the practical actions important to intervention success. Each step will include a critical analysis of the literature on intervention design and development. Students will work through problems designed to illustrate each of the steps. Finally, students will design their own intervention and evaluation plan to target the health disparity of their choice. This course will require students to work in groups outside of class time.
