Methods
|
The course will include assigned readings, curriculum from TEACH-VIP (Training, Educating, and Advancing Collaboration in Health on Violence and Injury Prevention), directed on-line discussion, short assignments and an injury prevention project. The students will read While We Were Sleeping: Success Stories in Injury and Violence Prevention by David Hemenway. The TEACH-VIP curriculum is a self-paced E-learning curriculum developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Education Development Center, Inc.(EDC). TEACH-VIP E-Learning is a modular injury prevention and control curriculum developed by WHO and a network of global injury prevention experts. At the beginning of the course the students must chose a topic in injury prevention. Throughout the course they will complete assignments based on the current curriculum and specific to their chosen topic. They will complete a project in collaboration with a community partner based on their chosen topic in injury. Examples of projects might include working within an existing injury prevention project, creating a social media campaign or patient education handout, or writing a brief for a lawmaker.

Expectations

Evaluating
|
Participation component will be 10%.
Each student is to choose a topic in injury. They will have assignments in their chosen topic, leading towards a 10-12 page paper on this topic. The weekly assignments will be graded on completion and count for 10% of the final grade. The final paper will count as 40% of the final grade.
Each student is to work on an original injury prevention intervention or contribute a portion/product for an ongoing injury prevention project. This will count as 40% of final grade. If the product is part of an ongoing project and if it requires a significant amount of teamwork with a community organization, a short assessment from the community partner will be included in the grade. If the studentÂ's project has significant time constraints based on the community partnersÂ' needs, the Â"due dateÂ" could be extended.
