Healthcare professionals benefit from having the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions regarding health services. This course is intended to introduce the foundation of knowledge and skills students need to understand the conceptual and methodological issues of health research methods. Topics include but are not limited to: study conceptualization; research question and hypothesis formation; fundamentals of sampling, observation and measurement; research design and operationalization; secondary data analysis widely used in empirical health services research; interpreting research literature; and the capacity to translate knowledge into action. 

Class Meets: Tues., 6 - 9 p.m.

Format: Fully online with first week asynchronous online; second week face-to-face or synchronous online. May require two face-to-face class sessions. Thursday delivery in Richardson 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. This class alternates with HPEM 6310. 

The capstone project is a requirement for students in the MHA program. The capstone is an opportunity for students to work on projects that are developed in consultation with a faculty member. 

This course is designed to familiarize students with the history and current applications of social and behavioral sciences as they are applied to public health practice and research. It explores social and behavioral science models, theories, and approaches that inform public health, and their philosophical roots. The course also examines social and behavioral determinants of health equity across the ecological spectrum. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking skills to help students synthesize and utilize information in research and practice. An important contribution of this course is the emphasis on recognizing the contributions of social and behavioral science research and practice to enhance public health.
