Content Description: The series of lectures provides an overview over current major global public health problems, their determinants and standard as well as emerging interventions to reduce key risks and improve population health. Each lecture is dedicated to a particular public health problem for which the background, key risk factors, etiology and burden of disease, the basic epidemiology and key interventions to control the risk and reduce harm are explained. Lectures are given by various Swiss TPH staff members and other faculty.
To prepare for a lecture, participants read the article associated with the lecture and prepare a list of 2-3 questions to be discussed in a 30-minutes interactive part of the lecture designed to encourage scientific argumentation. Thereby, participants are stimulated to carefully read scientific publications, remember key issues and train epidemiological reasoning.
