MPH 7043 - Injury Epidemiology
The course introduces the foundations and fundamentals of injury prevention, control, and safety promotion. The course begins with a review of basic epidemiological principles and approach to injury prevention and control. The second part of the course applies these principles to the most important injuries of public health importance in two broad areas: non-intentional and intentional injuries. Students are divided into groups of 3-4 students each to prepare an in-depth evaluation of an injury topic in Puerto Rico. A written and oral presentation is submitted on the last day of class in lieu of a final exam. Participation by all students is obligatory for both presentations, and participation on the critique of each presentation.
