Indigenous Health units

• PHM517 - Public Health Anthropology

This unit explores the relationship between anthropology and public health. It covers the application of anthropological approaches to all stages of public health interventions, from initial consultation to evaluation and dissemination of findings. Students will practice applying anthropological methods to public health research. They will also learn to critically evaluate epidemiological and medical approaches in public health from an anthropological point of view.

• PHM523 - Health Promotion

Promoting health and wellbeing is a fundamental competency of the public health practitioner, but how do we know which health promotion interventions work, are cost-effective and equitable? With a focus on the social factors that underlie health behaviors, this unit equips students with the skills to appraise the evidence base in order to plan and implement effective health promotion programs.

• PHM519 - Clinical Trials and Other Intervention Studies

It is the evidence from clinical trials and other intervention studies that guides practice in health. This unit provides an introduction to intervention study design, including ethical requirements, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), sample size consideration, and basic concepts of data analysis. Students will learn by reviewing and critically appraising the research literature, developing their research question/hypothesis, and an intervention study protocol.

• PHM525 - Indigenous Health Research

This unit introduces an Indigenous research perspective, in which relationships - and accountability to those relationships - are fundamental. Students are introduced to the history and context of Indigenous health research and ethical and cross-cultural issues. Indigenous health research is explored, including Indigenous ways of knowing, and examining how research methodologies can be implemented so that the relationships between people, places, and ideas are respected.
