Evaluation Methods for Injury Interventions

3 Credits.

Prepares students to participate in the design/conduct of LMIC road safety program evaluations using standardized tools from the WHO, and to translate results for advocacy. Introduces the theory and use of these tools/study designs via lectures followed by case studies of how they have been used in LMICs. Students use EpiInfo to compile secondary data and do basic calculations to understand the burden of road crashes in an LMIC and then identify a plausible intervention and propose a study to evaluate its impact. Students work in groups to prepare an advocacy presentation based on a published program evaluation.
