课程名称：人群中的主要抑郁症：公共卫生方法 课程概述：公共心理健康是将医学和社会科学原则应用于预防心理和行为障碍的发生，并促进人群心理健康的一门学科。本课程通过抑郁症这一实例，阐释了公共卫生原则在抑郁障碍中的应用，包括流行病学、跨文化精神病学、健康服务研究和预防等原则。预计到2020年，抑郁症将成为全球最重要的疾病负担来源。每个人在生活的某个时刻都会感到沮丧，但大约只有五分之一的人口会在一生中经历一次抑郁障碍。本课程深入探讨了疾病的公共卫生方法，以及将这一方法应用于心理障碍的特殊复杂性。 课程大纲： 1. **课程介绍**：欢迎参加《人群中的主要抑郁症：公共卫生方法》。我们将简要介绍课程内容再开始第一堂课。 2. **主要抑郁症及其重要性**：本周，我们将聚焦于主要抑郁症的定义及其对人群产生影响的测量方法。 3. **低收入和中等收入国家中的抑郁症：关注母亲的抑郁**：本周从全球公共卫生角度探讨抑郁症。 4. **流行病学基础概念在抑郁症中的应用**：本周利用对主要抑郁症的了解，考察主要的流行病学研究设计，包括病例对照设计、队列设计，以及时间与空间中疾病的研究。 5. **寻找病因线索**：本周关注抑郁症的可能原因，包括遗传、压力、社会生活、工作生活以及现代生活的演变。 6. **寻找病因线索：选择课题**： - 选择1：作为国际营养项目的协调员，您在坦桑尼亚的难民营发现妇女面临严峻的生活环境，可能与心理健康有关。 - 选择2：您称为“Solvit”的清洁产品的创始人被问及与抑郁症相关的流行病学证据。 7. **未满足的护理需求、障碍及改善获取治疗的程序**：本模块讨论治疗的未满足需求与寻求治疗，提出抑郁症治疗的公共卫生视角。 8. **最终作业**：对课程进行总结性的作业。 本课程通过理论与实践相结合的方式，帮助学员深入理解抑郁症的公共卫生影响及相关治疗策略。
Name:Overview
Description:Welcome to Major Depression in the Population: A Public Health Approach. Let's take a few moments to introduce the course before we dive into our first lessons.
Name:What is Major Depression and Why Is It Important? The Burden of Depressive Disorder in the Population
Description:This week, we will be focusing on the definition of major depression and the methods that we use for measuring its effect on populations.
Name:Depression in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Closer Look at Maternal Depression
Description:This week we will be covering depression from a global public health perspective.
Name:Basic Concepts of Epidemiology as Applied to Depression
Description:This week we take advantage of what we know about major depressive disorder to examine major epidemiologic research designs, including the case control design, the cohort design, and the study of diseases in time and space.
Name:The Search for Etiologic Clues
Description:This week the focus is on possible causes for depressive disorder, including inheritance, stress, social life, work life, and the evolution of modern living.
Name:The Search for Etiologic Clues: Lesson Choices
Description:Choice 1: You are the coordinator of an international nutrition program in refugee camps, including a refugee camp in Tanzania. Most of the refugees in this camp have fled violence from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the size of the camp is increasing because of the intensification of armed violence there. The nutrition organization that you have been working for has been implementing programs to promote breastfeeding, and appropriate infant and young child feeding practices. You have been told that program staff are facing difficulties, and you decide to visit the site to see for yourself what is going on. In your meeting with some of the community health workers who are implementing the program, you hear of women living in very challenging circumstances. A group of women seems to be very tired and have lost the energy to engage with daily routines. You suspect that mental health may play a role, and decide to ask further questions and write a report about this to your organization’s headquarters. | Choice 2: A young entrepreneur from Oklahoma named Rodney Johnson created a household cleaning product made from byproducts of the corn industry. This product, called Solvit, is very good at cleaning up grease and dirt, and was more effective than many other well-known products such as Mr. Clean, Fantastik, and Lysol. Mr. Johnson started marketing the product in 1992 at stores in his native Oklahoma, and also on the World Wide Web. Twenty years later this product is the most widely used cleaning agent in North America, although it still has not been introduced in several states. In 2012 Consumer Reports magazine determined that the product contained solvents that might cause depressive disorder. It asked the Consumer Products Safety Commission to ban the product. The Institute of Medicine was asked for its advice. The IOM learned that you had taken this course and has asked you to consult on epidemiologic evidence and methods that might support the claim that Solvit produces depressive disorder.
Name:Unmet Need for Care, Barriers, and Programs to Improve Access
Description:In this module, we discuss unmet need for treatment and treatment seeking and present a public health view of depression treatment.
Name:Final Assignment
Description:
Public Mental Health is the application of the principles of medicine and social science to prevent the occurrence of mental and behavioral disorders and to promote mental health of the population. This course illustrates the principles of public health applied to depressive disorder, including principles of epidemiology, transcultural psychiatry, health services research, and prevention. It is predicted that by 2020 depressive disorder will be the most important cause of disease burden in the entire world! Every human being suffers from feeling depressed at some point or other, but only about one fifth of the population will experience an episode of depressive disorder over the course of their lives. This course illuminates the public health approach to disease, and the particular complexities of applying this approach to mental disorders, using depression as the exemplar.
