Truth, Evidence, and Influence: Case Studies in Public Health AS.280.314 (01)
This course examines the roles of science, media, politics and business in our society and explores how these spheres interact to influence our health. We will develop a conceptual framework that illustrates these relationships by analyzing historical and current case studies in public health, including HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, gun violence, climate change, and the opioid epidemic. We will discuss the nature of “evidence” and how it is used by various entities and actors to advance their interests, sometimes obscuring the truth. Students will write reflections on course materials, participate in classroom discussion, and undertake independent and group projects.

Mind-Body Practices and Public Health AS.280.330 (01)
This course will focus on mind-body practices and their place in public health. We will learn about different mind-body practices and talk about if/how mind-body practices can help amerliorate the national burden of disease. We will also learn how to identify evidence based practices (EBPs) in public health and learn the core components of designing EBPs. We will then combine what we learned about mind-body practices and designing EBPs to create programs that lessen the burden of disease. The mind-body portion of this course is experiential and will include the practice of meditation, yoga, other mindfulness exercises. You will also be asked to reflect on these practices through journaling.

Students will learn to formulate precise scientific and policy questions, design exploratory and confirmatory statistical analyses to address the questions, conduct appropriate analyses using the statistical package R, and communicate their findings through graphical and tabular displays that are presented in writing and in person. The course will be run seminar style in which students conduct data analysis to present to one another in one meeting per week. Evaluation will be through class participation and a final project in which students will analyze their own data set to address a question of their choice. Students need to have taken an introductory statistics course at the level of AS.280.345 (Public Health Biostatistics) and must have some experience using the statistical software R to perform basic analyses.

As public health researchers and practitioners, one of the most important and in-demand skills is the ability to communicate data to effect population-level change. This course will explore concepts and case studies in data visualization, ethical data dissemination, and evidence-based advocacy. This course will cover strategies for presenting data that are approachable for lay audiences. Students will gain familiarity with key tools, media, and software to support data visualization and dissemination through lectures, case studies and course assignments. The course will culminate with an applied assignment which calls upon students to collaborate with Bloomberg School of Public Health faculty to utilize data from current research to effectively communicate key messages to non-specialist audiences. This is a Gordis Teaching Fellowship course open to juniors and seniors. Priority registration is given to Public Health Studies majors. Other students will be permitted to register as space allows.

Students will explore the etiology and epidemiology of substance use and substance use disorders in young people, as well as the history of substance use prevention while tackling topics of racism, stigma and oppression of those who use drugs. Progressing through the course, students will be introduced to novel and emerging ways the field is rethinking drug prevention, including the use of social media platforms, mindfulness in schools and phone apps. New tools for epidemiologic surveillance of populations will also be considered, such as machine learning and ecological momentary assessment. Gordis Teaching Fellowship course.

Interpersonal Gun Violence: A Public Health Perspective AS.280.470 (01)
Over the last two decades, interpersonal gun violence has led to over 250,000 deaths and more than twice as many injuries. There have been mounting efforts to recognize gun violence as a public health problem; however, it’s a problem that extends beyond loss of life. This seminar-style course will be separated into the following three sections: origins of gun violence, understanding the consequences, and responding to gun violence. Throughout the course students will apply concepts to a case study on the intersection of gun violence and another assigned area (i.e., hospitals, youth, policing) as it impacts Baltimore. This course is not intended to be comprehensive of all forms of interpersonal gun violence, as intimate partner violence, mass shootings, or police-involved violence will not be a primary focus. Priority registration will be given to Public Health Studies majors; other students will be permitted as space allows.

Communicating the Fundamentals of Epidemiology AS.280.471 (01)
As the “basic science of public health,” epidemiology fits into the broader field of public health by using causal reasoning to identify population-level drivers of morbidity and mortality. To be most impactful, epidemiologists need to communicate their research persuasively, succinctly, and accurately to diverse audiences. This 3-credit course provides students with a framework for communicating the findings of epidemiologic studies in writing to non-scientific audiences. It builds on AS.280.350 Fundamentals of Epidemiology, allowing students to engage in closer reading and interpretation of the epidemiology research articles covered in that course. Expository forms that students will gain exposure to include: scientific peer reviewed manuscript, pop-culture article, secondary school lesson plan, Wikipedia article, and policy brief. At the close of this course, students will have developed a portfolio showcasing the breadth of their scientific writing skills. This is a Gordis Teaching Fellowship course open to juniors and seniors. Priority registration is given to Public Health Studies majors. Other students will be permitted to register as space allows.
