For students attending the course Intervention Development, Implementation and Evaluation course code 4GB009

In this course, students will learn how to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions in global health, with a focus on involving communities and stakeholders throughout the process. Students will learn participatory methods, such as co-design and patient and public involvement, which are key to ensuring interventions are relevant and effective. The course explores how behaviour change models and theoretical frameworks can be used to guide the design of interventions.

Syllabus

Students will learn different evaluation methods, including randomised trials and quasi-experimental studies, to assess the impact of interventions. Mixed methods process evaluation and economic evaluations will also be covered, helping students understand how to evaluate interventions from both a practical perspective and financial perspective. Throughout the course, students will explore the role of implementation science in studying global health interventions and are introduced to how to adapt and scale interventions in different settings. 

Ethical considerations are integrated into the course, with discussions on topics such as consent, equipoise, and blinding, ensuring students can manage ethical challenges in interventional studies. By the end of the course, students will have the skills to develop and evaluate interventions using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, building on their learnings from previous methods courses, while addressing ethical and practical challenges in global health.
