Description: 

This short course will provide the most current information available in the constantly changing field of immunization.  Module One will cover Progress on epidemiology and prevention of vaccine-preventable diseases, Current development of vaccine or immunization, Principles of vaccination, General recommendations on immunization, and vaccine safety, storage, handling, and administration. Module Two will cover diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Polio, Hib, tuberculosis, measles, mumps, rubella. Module Three will cover hepatitis B, hepatitis A, influenza, and pneumococcal disease (adult), meningococcal, anthrax, and rotavirus. Module Four will cover a current development of vaccine or immunization in the world, vaccine safety controversies and the futures of vaccination programs, and the economic of vaccine and cost effectiveness of vaccination.

The course materials are mainly obtained from the WHO, CDC of Indonesia and USA, as well as from many journals. This course will feature a question-and-answer session in which participants can interact with the course instructors via face to face or an electronic media. Each of the four modules can be viewed independently for course’s credit, which is 0.5-credit each or 2 credits for all modules.

Description:

Organizations must have a grounded starting point to effectively accomplish their missions. A strategic plan is a vital tool and an important process that helps an organization reach its goals and achieve success. The course is also to demonstrate the importance of program evaluation with regard to the development of population and family health interventions, such as HIV prevention and treatment. The purpose of this course is to provide learners with the fundamentals of building a successful strategic plan for operating a support organization for population and health advocacy, prevention and intervention. The course will also cover the fundamentals of a successful evaluation to improve the quality of the services. This course presents information for preparing strategic plan for people with varying levels of experience in strategic planning. In addition, this course also to assist program planners in building an effective evaluation component within the program to ensure ongoing capacity building and success. There is no course requirement but Population and Family Health I (KUI: 673).

Learning objectives: 

At the end of this course students should be able to:

  1. Critically analyzes context, trends and vulnerabilities related to Gender Based Violence (GBV) in its humanitarian context;
  2. Appraise root causes and contributing factors for GBVs and the consequences of GBV on women and girls, family members and the wider community,
  3. Demonstrates knowledge of current GBV prevention theory and identifies and applies appropriate GBV prevention and behavior change strategies at different stages of the humanitarian response,
  4. Demonstrate the principles of case management and can apply to GBV programs, including sexual exploitation and violence, and
  5. Demonstrates knowledge of and can implement multi-sectorial response to GBV (includes health, psychosocial support, safety/ security, and legal response)

Course Description

This is an advance course of population health which address a set of public health problems experienced by people affected by natural disasters and/or conflict. It discusses the many changes in people’s lives when they are uprooted by disaster and/or conflict, ranging from changes in disease patterns, access to health care, family planning and reproductive health services, livelihoods, shelter, sanitary conditions, nutritional status, and epidemic of infectious diseases, such acute respiratory and cholera.

Student will appraise what humanitarian interventions should be look like if we want to prevent and mitigate the effects of disasters and/or conflict. The course content is a mix of theoretical knowledge and many practical experiences from recent disasters and/or conflict in Indonesia. Student will have chance to see directly what has been done to mitigate the impact of natural disasters and/or conflict. We think this course is unique because it contains so many practical ‘real-life’ examples and is taught be instructors and guest lecturers who together have many years of experience in this field.

Course Introduction

This course provides the opportunity for students to reinforce the knowledge and skills acquired in introductory epidemiology and other methods courses by applying them to the tasks of critically reviewing evidence and preparing a research proposal. The theoretical and practical difficulties encountered in designing a study from the ground up have motivated the topics we have developed, and you will gain experience in written presentation and interpretation of literature reviews and research plans. This course also presents an opportunity for those considering a Master project or dissertation to use the course to develop a research plan relevant to their research area, identify potential supervisors, and consider any required ethical clearances in preparation for their project implementation.

Course Description

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are critical for evidence-based clinical and public health practices. The widespread and growing application of systematic reviews to synthesize evidence on key research and questions in medical, public health and social science make it useful for health professionals to be able to understand and critique the policy decision based on the research report. This course will provide a detailed description of the systematic review and meta-analysis processes, discuss the strengths and limitations of the method, and provide step-by-step guidance on how to actually perform systematic review and meta-analysis. In addition, it helps doctorate students to write and publish their article in the international journal, including the review literature in their dissertation. Specific topics will cover -formulation of the review question, -searching of literature, -quality assessment of studies, -data extraction, -meta - analytic methods using a Stata software, and report writing. It should be noted that we do not use Cochran standard, i.e. using Review Manager but non-standard.

The course will focus statistical issues such as selection of statistical models for meta-analysis for binary or continues outcome; practical examples of fixed and random effects models as well as examples of methods to evaluate heterogeneity and publication bias; graphical and tabular templates for the presentation of metaanalysis data. STATA software package version 16.1 will be used for the lectures, along with computer lab tutorials on how to effectively use tools such as PubMed and EndNote for conducting reviews. For the Stata lower version might not be work for all newest commands but we will inform you how to resolve in the class, such as using metan or metaan instead of meta form Stata.

Course Description:

The course is designed for health professionals who are interested in conducting and evaluating reproductive health surveillance systems and who need a working knowledge of surveillance in reproductive health. The course will teach theory and practices of surveillance applied to reproductive health. The course includes overview of public health surveillance, principles and application of surveillance in reproductive health, sources and collection of data, analysis and interpretation of surveillance data, communication and dissemination of surveillance data, and evaluation of public health surveillance activities. Several activities in surveillance process will be introduced and participants will perform them in laboratory settings (i.e. questionnaire development, data entry, data management, data analysis). Participants will also be given the opportunity to design and evaluate a surveillance system
