*Booking now open!* Short course: Methodological Innovation in Public Health Intervention Science: Development, Evaluation, Adaptation and Implementation

Who is it for?

Researchers, PhD students, practitioners and policy makers. No prior knowledge is assumed.

Brief Overview of the Course

The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to different methods used for developing, evaluating, adapting and implementing complex public health interventions. This will include how to develop an intervention ‘logic model’ and insights into how DECIPHer works with policy-makers, health professionals and the public to co-produce interventions, and pilot and evaluate intervention effectiveness and processes. You will also learn about recommendations and methods for adapting interventions to new contexts.

The course is delivered by experts in the field of public health intervention from DECIPHer and our collaborating institutions including University of Bristol, University of Exeter, and others, to be confirmed.
