This course will review the basic skills of public health policy and politics, including understanding key definitions and principles, assessing policymakers, formulating and analyzing policy questions, and advocating for change. We will also discuss the challenges of policy discussions amid a sea of misinformation and disinformation and the decline in traditional news media, as well as new opportunities for working with nontraditional media to advance consideration of major public health policy issues. All participants enrolled in this course are expected to complete required readings prior to the start of the course. Participants enrolled in this course will be evaluated for receipt of the certificate of participation based class participation and paper outline. Participants taking this course for Johns Hopkins or UPF academic credit will be further evaluated by a final paper due no later than December 23, 2022.
