URL 1: https://osupublichealth.catalog.instructure.com/courses/puhl-1011

Date Developed: 4/4/2013. Source: Center for Public Health Practice (Ohio State University). Presenter(s): Unknown. Type: Online Course. Level: Introductory. Length: Self-paced.

Annotation

This course is a basic introduction to public health and consists of seven modules that range from 6-15 minutes in length. The modules provide an introduction to the history, achievements, mission, achievements, structure, challenges, opportunities, and future of public health in the United States. Some of the focus is on Ohio, however the course is still useful for individuals from other states as the Ohio-specific information can be used as an example of the roles and activities of state and local public health. The seven modules are: “What is Public Health?” “History and Achievements,” “Who is Public Health?” “Factors that Influence Public Health,” “Public Health in Ohio,” “Challenges for Public Health,” and “Public Health’s Future”.
