This unit focuses on the role of planning and evaluation in public health. Students will examine various frameworks, theories and methods in order to develop a rationalised and contextualised public health program plan. The strengths and weaknesses of existing public health programs will be critically appraised so that students can co-create best practice planning and evaluation approaches designed to provide sustainable solutions for diverse health issues. This unit will enable students to develop or extend programs that may constitute their existing work in the industry or to develop new opportunities and collaborations that serve and sustain public health efforts in particular settings.
