课程名称：全球疾病大师班：全球疾病分布 概述：全球疾病大师班是公共卫生硕士学位的组成部分，旨在让学生能够批判性地应用流行病学概念于主要的全球疾病，并评估及推荐应对这些疾病的政策选择。 课程概述：在本课程中，我们将向学生介绍全球健康和疾病的最重要趋势和模式。我们将回顾健康随着时间的改善，未来的趋势，以及各国之间和国内的健康不平等现象。课程将探讨这些统计数据背后的方法，并思考健康的不同概念化和测量方式。最后，课程将考虑我们所描述模式背后的原因，并引入直接干预与结构性干预的区别。 课程大纲： 1. **引言：疾病大师班：疾病分布和趋势** - 描述：本模块将探讨全球健康和疾病的最重要趋势与模式。尽管整体健康显著改善，但这些获益在国家之间和内部分配不均。 2. **疾病估算** - 描述：本模块将探索不同的健康数据来源及如何为特定疾病估算统计数据。学生将学习疾病估算的生成方式。 3. **测量疾病** - 描述：本模块将考虑评估健康的不同指标。学生将学习什么是DALY（失能调整生命年），以及为什么这是一个评估疾病的有用指标。 4. **疾病框架** - 描述：本模块将回顾影响健康和疾病模式的各种因素。除了直接影响疾病风险的因素，还有更深层次的因素使某些人更容易接触这些风险因素。本模块将引入直接干预与结构性干预的区别，这是本课程在后续课程中的一个主题。 通过本课程的学习，学生将增强对全球疾病分布的理解，并能够为相关健康政策提出切实可行的建议。
Name:Introduction to Disease Masterclass: Disease Distributions and Trends
Description:This module will look at the most important trends and patterns in health and disease around the world. You will see that health has improved enormously over time overall, but that these gains have been unequally distributed both between and within countries.
Name:Disease Estimates
Description:This module will look at exploring different health data sources and how we estimate statistics for specific diseases. You will also learn how disease estimates are generated.
Name:Measuring disease
Description:This module will consider the different metrics for evaluating health. You will also learn what DALYs are and why they are a useful metric for measuring diseases.
Name:Disease Frameworks
Description:This final module will step back and consider what factors may underpin the patterns of health and disease that have been examined in this course. As well as things that directly affect the risk of diseases, there are deeper factors that make some people more likely than others to be exposed to those risk factors. This leads to an introduction to the distinction between direct and structural interventions – a theme that is returned to in other courses in this specialisation.
The Global Diseases Masterclass is part of the full-degree Masters of Public Health that the School of Public Health. By the end of this specialisation, our aim is that students will be able to critically apply epidemiological concepts to major global diseases and be able to appraise and recommend policy options to combat them. Global Diseases Masterclass: Global Disease Distribution In this course, we will introduce students to the most important trends and pattern in health and disease on a global scale. We will look at how health has improved over time, examine the trends for the future and look at between and within-country inequality in health. We will look at the methods that lie behind those statistics and think about different ways in which health can be conceptualised and measured. The course ends by considering the reason that might lie behind the patterns that we’ve pointed out and introducing the distinction between direct and structural interventions.The course ends by considering the reasons that might lie behind the patterns that we’ve described and introducing the concept of structural interventions.
