The aim of this course is to introduce frameworks for designing public health interventions. Including developing skills to work with program theory and logic models. Socio-ecological models of health will form the basis of the course. The course will include basic introduction to evaluating, with a subsequent additional course in evaluation of complex interventions. Learning outcomes: Insight into complex interventions based on the UK Medical Research Council Model; Skills for working with program theory and logic models; Insight in developing complex interventions addressing co-production, co-creation and PPI; Insight in contextual elements that can influence successful change; Overview of different complex intervention evaluation strategies.

The aim of this course is to introduce a framework to guide decisions in how to evaluate public health interventions targeted health behaviour. The course will include quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods evaluation designs and system approaches to evaluation. The MRC model for complex interventions in health will form the basis of the course. The course build to some extent on the former course in developing complex interventions. However, this course can also stand alone. Learning outcomes: Insight into evaluation of complex interventions based on the UK Medical Research Council Model; Overview of different complex intervention evaluation strategies; Insight into evaluating complex interventions using quantitative research designs; Insight into evaluating complex interventions using qualitative and mixed methods research designs.
