This course introduces students to an overview of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with a focus on upstream intervention by applying the Public Health problem solving paradigm. To simulate the real world, students are divided into small groups to tackle a STI problem in the community and demonstrate the mastery of public health concepts by successfully collaborating on a final paper with a descriptive analysis of an STI, its magnitude and determinants, exploration of the different intervention strategies and a defense of the intervention of choice.
