课程名称：环境健康：全球公共健康的基础 课程概述：本课程是“环境对全球公共健康影响”专项下的第一门课程，将为您提供环境健康科学（EHS）的基础知识。我们将探索四个主要主题。首先是环境健康科学的介绍及其暴露-疾病模型，这一框架有助于理解环境对人类健康的影响。第二个主题是环境健康科学中的关键概念及相关环境健康政策，旨在解决和减少环境健康危害的影响。第三个主题是应用系统思维来理解和分析环境健康问题。最后一个主题是职业健康，视为公共健康视角下造成发病率和死亡率的重要环境。 课程大纲： - 第1周：欢迎与环境健康科学导论 本周将为您提供课程和学习社区的导向，并涵盖环境健康科学的基本概念和环境危害。 - 第2周：环境健康政策 本周将探讨支配我们对环境行动的法律和政策，并分析这些法律与政策对环境的影响。 - 第3周：暴露路径与系统思维在环境健康中的应用 本周您将了解到系统思维如何作为一种有效的方法来思考我们周围的环境。 - 第4周：职业健康 本周将探讨不同职业所涉及的各种危害和风险，包括如何应对职业健康问题。 通过本课程的学习，您将掌握环境健康的基本概念，理解相关政策，并应用系统思维解决环境健康问题，最终加深对职业健康的认识。
Name:Week 1: Welcome & Introduction to Environmental Health Sciences
Description:Welcome to Week 1! We start this week with an orientation to the course and our learning community. Then, we start our course by covering two main topics: Basic Concepts of Environmental Health Sciences, and Environmental Hazards. Let’s find out more about these topics, and more, in the Week 1 module.
Name:Week 2: Environmental Health Policy
Description:What laws and policies govern our actions toward our environment? Who is responsible for enacting these laws and policies? How do we assess the impacts of laws and policies on the environment? Let’s find out the answers to these questions, and more, in the Week 2 module.
Name:Week 3: Exposure Pathways & Systems Thinking in Environmental Health
Description:There are many ways of thinking about the world around us; design thinking, critical thinking, computational thinking, etc. But have you heard of systems thinking, and how it can be an effective approach to think about our environment? Let’s find out how we can use systems thinking for environmental health purposes, and more, in the Week 3 module.
Name:Week 4: Occupational Health
Description:Different jobs involved exposures to different hazards and varying levels of risk. A construction worker is far more likely to be injured than a store cashier, for example. But all jobs involve potential occupational hazards. Let’s find out about occupational health (OH for short) and how we can approach it in the Week 4 module - the last one of this course.
The first course of the Impacts of the Environment on Global Public Health specialization will provide you with a foundation in environmental health sciences (EHS). We will explore four main topics. The first is an introduction to EHS and the exposure-disease model – a very useful framework for understanding the influence of the environment on human health. The second topic is key concepts in EHS and environmental health policies that can be used to address and reduce the impacts of environmental health hazards. The third topic is the application of systems thinking to understand and analyze environmental health issues. The fourth and final topic is occupational health, which is a key environment that represents a major source of morbidity and mortality from a public health perspective.
