Pre-requisite: Completion of 1-2 terms in the Program.

MPH4001 Health Promotion Strategies

Credits: 3 Offered: Spring 1 Health promotion involves the therapeutic use of lifestyle strategies, such as a predominantly whole food, plant-based diet, exercise, stress management, tobacco and alcohol cessation, and other non-drug modalities to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic disease. It is the practice of educating, equipping, and empowering individuals with the information and resources they need to protect their health and fight disease. This course offers the knowledge and skills recommended by a national panel of representatives from physician and health professional organizations as the basis for providing quality health promotion in lifestyle medicine services. Topics covered include the fifteen core competencies identified by the panel which focus on clinical processes, as well as a review of key modalities: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, coaching behavior change, tobacco cessation, managing risky alcohol use, and stress management/emotional wellness. The course provides basic grounding in the field of health promotion (HP) and in lifestyle medicine (LM), and focuses on practical skills for public health practitioners.

Pre-requisite: MPH6002 Public Health Surveillance

MPH4002 Environmental & Occupational Epidemiology (Formerly MPH0419)

Credits: 3 Offered: Spring 1 This course focuses on the fundamentals of epidemiological methods specific to environmental and occupational health research. The course will provide students with an insight to appropriate study designs and methodologies to investigate health effects of environmental and occupational exposures in different settings. These include essential concepts involved in generating research hypotheses, as well as environmental and occupational health specific issues such as use of exposure biomarkers, exposure sampling and modeling of exposures, study design issues, confounding and other types of bias, and phenotyping issues as they relate to environmental and occupational factors. We will also review novel data analytic strategies unique to environmental and occupational health (e.g. exposure mixtures), the nascent field of exposomics, and the interpretation of the study findings and public health implications for environmental and occupational epidemiological research. The students will also learn the techniques for critical appraisal of environmental and occupational epidemiological studies. These are achieved through lectures with in-depth discussion of current research status on environmental and occupational epidemiology, readings, homework assignments, mid-term exam, hands-on statistical analysis workshops, and a final project.

The course is a requirement for students in the Health Promotion Disease Prevention track.

MPH6006 Substance Abuse & Public Health

Credits: 2 Offered: Spring 1

We are facing a public health crisis of substance use disorders (SUDs) across NYC and the country. In the US, approximately 20.4 million people ages 12 and older had an SUD diagnosis in the past year, according to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Addiction touches the lives of children, adolescents, and adults across all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

This course will explore the public health impact of several important SUDs and evidence-based interventions to mitigate harms associated with substance use. Topics include substance use and mental health, tobacco control, the epidemic of SUDs in NYC, cannabis and teens, drug decriminalization, overdose in the ER, binge drinking on college campuses, environmental and genetic risk factors for opioid addiction, and others.

This seminar will be problem-based and composed of lectures from experts and exposure to people who use drugs, with emphasis on research, evidence-based practice, and policy. Course assignments include attendance and reflection on an SUD group therapy session (12-step or other model) and a presentation on a controversial area of addiction.

Students who successfully complete this course will be able to: • Assess the social, cultural, political, economic, and environmental factors that promote or prevent substance use in an individual or community • Design an intervention or program to prevent or manage substance use and SUDs on a population level • Identify the behavioral and neurobiological effects of substance use and SUDs

MPH6007 Life Cycle of Violence: Implications for Public Health (Formerly MPH0212)

Credits: 2 Offered: Spring 1 According to Healthy People 2020, “Acts of violence are among the top 15 killers of Americans of all ages.” Once thought of solely as a criminal justice issue, violence prevention and intervention have been embraced as a major public health issue. The television drama, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU), claims to be “fictional” and states that their show “does not depict any actual person or event.” Yet many episodes strongly resemble real-life situations “ripped from the headlines,” with a few added twists and turns to enhance the plot! Students will view SVU episodes and read peer reviewed articles to guide interactive discussions on the impact of violence over the course of the lifespan on health and wellbeing. Insights from this course will drive more thoughtful and informed practice when working with this important leading health indicator.

MPH6014 Humanitarian Aid in Complex Emergencies

Credits: 3 Offered: Spring 1 This is an upper level global health course informed by the course director’s experience as advisor to the Director-General of the World Health Organization. This course will explore current public health and humanitarian crises and address the tensions between aid practitioners and academics, between countries and international agencies, health and human rights using historical and current case studies of outbreaks, armed conflict, natural disaster, and climate change. Students will develop critical thinking and hone written communication skills such as opinion pieces in order to inform and engage in public debate.

How should international medical and relief efforts respond to modern humanitarian emergencies that have become chronic, expensive, political and unpopular with governments increasingly focused on populism and protectionism to open borders and empathy? In armed conflicts, how do officials delivering humanitarian aid ensure that in-kind assistance is meeting the needs of people affected rather than providing a source of subsistence to warring factions? How should aid efforts address a crisis like the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo when parts of the local population see the international response as more a source of jobs than medical care? Can international public health efforts develop the trust needed to succeed in such situations if they focus primarily on those diseases seen as a threat to threaten the global North -- Ebola, polio, pandemic flu rather than those that are the biggest killers in the global South - TB, malaria, and HIV? For the Covid-19 pandemic, are public-health officials striking the right balance in the global South between a reliance on technical innovations and the need to develop basic health care? Does that balance shift as we consider future pandemic threats such as anti-microbial resistance? Is the World Health Organization fit for purpose in addressing emerging threats, and if not, what modifications would make it more effective? In particular, what would make the WHO more effective in addressing the instinct of many governments to cover up unusual outbreaks of infectious diseases? For the first time, people understand what public health means, what human rights are, and the relationship between health and human rights. The pandemic has also brought into sharp relief the limitations of our current response --surveillance, contact tracing and vaccinations. This course will examine the international public-health response to a range of humanitarian crises, including those related to outbreaks, armed conflict, natural disaster, and climate change. Other issues it will examine include the politicization of the international response and the role of international organizations such as the World Health Organization and other United Nations agencies, of non-governmental organizations such as International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Doctors without Borders. Students will develop critical thinking and hone communication skills in particular writing skills such as opinion pieces in order to inform and engage in public debate.

MPH6015 Global Environmental Change

Credits: 3 Offered: Spring 1 Climate change is not a single problem, but a lens through which to view myriad changes to our environment that will determine the future for humans on this planet. Changes to biodiversity, hydrological systems, land use, waste management, energy production, distribution of environmental toxicants; these and more are all part of the larger category of global environmental change.

This course will focus on how global environmental change is affecting human health, presenting major challenges to physicians, scientists, institutions, governments and communities. There are solutions, and public health messengers must be informed to bring those solutions to the decision-makers in our neighborhoods and around the world.

MPH6016 Medical Law and Ethical Dilemmas in Health Care (Formerly MPH 0713)

Credits: 3 Offered: Spring 1 Human rights abuses are pervasive and have both obvious and subtle health consequences. They also need to be understood from different angles: how they affect individual health (including psychological health) as well as population and community health; how human rights abuses involve ethical, scientific, political, social, and cultural considerations; and how the field of public health can address human rights abuses in multiple ways, including advocacy and testimony, influencing health-related practices, education, documentation and accumulation of data.

This course is designed to raise students' awareness of human rights abuses and their effects on health; to describe how human rights abuses adversely impact health; to introduce the epidemiology of human rights abuses; and to consider how disciplines within Public Health can address (and sometimes participate in) human rights abuses. The course covers the ethical and political foundations of Human Rights, how we know human rights abuses are occurring (especially the epidemiology of human rights abuses), and specific health ramifications of pandemics, torture, forced migration and disparities. In addition, public health implications of human rights abuses will be discussed around special topics: pandemic response, children, gender, human rights law, and the role of health care providers in human rights abuses (from overt examples of participation in torture and genocide to more complex realms where public health imperatives may conflict with human rights, as with some forms of public health surveillance).

MPH6020 Nutritional Epidemiology (Formerly MPH0401)

Credits: 3 Offered: Spring I This course provides an overview of the principles and methods used to assess dietary intake and patterns and nutritional status in epidemiology research. Students will learn to identify and apply rigorous methods for assessing diet and nutritional status in adult and children study populations. Topics covered include methods of dietary assessment and nutritional status in adults and children, methods for controlling for measurement error, misclassification, and bias in nutritional epidemiology studies, and modern nutritional epidemiology applications. Through group class assignments, homework, and a final nutritional epidemiology project, students will also obtain practical skills in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting nutritional data for epidemiologic and clinical research. Pre-requisite: MPH1004 (formerly MPH0400) Introduction to Epidemiology

MPH6025 Mental Health in the Modern Age (Formerly MPH0417)

Credits: 3 Offered: Spring 1 Mental health is a critical component for high quality of life. Poor mental health is in and of itself aversive, and can lead to poor physical health and in some cases even death. The purpose of this course is to develop understanding modern conceptualizations of mental health on a population level. This will be accomplished by: studying mental health within the context of its historical perspectives, providing foundational learning on the major classifications of mental health disorders and their impact on society, and providing insights into what is, and what factors lead to, “good” or positive mental health.
