Description:
By the end of the course students should be able to:
• Explain the characteristics of implementation research
• Identify public health context, which possibly contain implementation research problems
• Formulate implementation research problem statement
• Identify implementation research strategy
• Design implementation research study
• Plan capacity building in performing implementation research
• Plan dissemination and scaling up after conducting implementation research |
|
Assessment Procedures:
Students will take pre-test as soon as they are enrolled in the course (1 hour). This test will evaluate students’ preparation for the course.
At the end of first week, students will have midterm test (1 hour). Presentation as the examination will be conducted at the end of the course (3 hours).
Each student has to design an implementation research study and write it into a proposal as the final assignment. At the end of course, students have to present their proposal. The complete proposal should be submitted 7 days after lectures have ended.
The assessment of tis course is weighted as follows:
1. Pre-test: 10%
