I. Course objectives
CHS 211 is a problem-based learning two-quarter course. This course introduces you to the development, planning, and
administration of evidence-based programs that are relevant for public health practice; basic research methods; and, the
evaluation and assessment of both existing and new programs. The overall goal of this course is for you to develop
concrete program development and evaluation skills; to learn to work successfully with colleagues to complete a project;
to develop a program and program evaluation proposal; and, to succinctly convey your ideas and findings orally and in
writing. Students will work on their class projects in groups of 4 students. Below are the objectives and related
competencies of this 2-quarter course. Key for competencies listed below, and complete competency descriptions are
available online at http://www.asph.org/document.cfm?page=851

II. Discussion sections and role of the special reader
Discussion sections (for the winter quarter)
Mondays, 12-1
61-269 CHS
with Patience Afulani
Tuesdays, 12-1
41-268 CHS
with Camillia Lui
Wednesdays, 9-10
61-269 CHS
with Goleen Samari
The discussion sections are designed to help you work through your assignments and to help you clarify class lectures and
readings. Attendance at the discussion sections is required.
Each group will be assigned a special reader for CHS 211A. In CHS 211B a different reader will be assigned. Therefore,
over the course of the two-quarters your group will work with two of the three special readers. Although you are assigned
a specific reader for your projects, you are welcome to attend any of the sections and any reader’s office hours.
Guidelines for working with special readers:
1) Regularly attend discussion sessions; attendance will be taken
2) Regularly attend special readers’ office hours
3) Special readers will not read drafts of assignments
4) Special readers will not answer in-depth questions over email (include all your group members in all email
correspondence); lengthy questions should be addressed during office hours. These in-depth questions include:
a. Specifics about your project
b. Specifics about the scope and requirements of assignments
c. Issues around group dynamics
d. Questions that begin with, “Can you explain...” or, “What would be better...”
5) All group members must be present for office hours with special readers
Special readers are available during class, sections, and their office hours. Please be respectful of their schedules and only
ask for their assistance during these times, they are busy students also.
III. Course requirements
1. Examinations
There will be a final examination during the finals week of the 2012 winter quarter, Friday, March 23rd from 11:30-2:30
(location TBA), and accounts for 25% of the grade for CHS 211A. Note that there will also be a final exam for CHS 211B
during finals week. Final exams will only be given during the scheduled times. If you are unable to take either final exam
during the scheduled times, you will receive an Incomplete in the course and will have to take the final exam during the
following academic year (2013).
2. Assignments
Over the course of the two quarters, your group will prepare a proposal for an intervention to address an important
community health problem, including a plan for evaluation of the intervention. This proposal is developed over a series of
eight assignments that address specific components of the intervention and its evaluation. Expect to revise these
components as the project develops over time.
Assignments 1-4 are due during CHS 211A and Assignments 5-8 during CHS 211B. Assignments are worth varying
amounts towards the course grade. All assignments are completed by your group.
4
Please attach a copy of each assignment as a word document in an email to:
1) Dr. Prelip, [email protected]
2) Dr. Glik, [email protected]
3) The special reader assigned to your group
Please do not send multiple files; each assignment must include the narrative and references within one “.doc” or “.docx”
file. If you include a title page or appendix, you must include that in the same file. Do not send assignments as a .pdf file.
All assignments must be typed, double-spaced, using 12-point font, Times New Roman, and with one inch margins. You
must follow page limitations. Reference lists do not count toward page limitations. Please format your references in the
way that is standard for public health. See the reading list section of this syllabus or any recent issue of the American
Journal of Public Health for citation guidelines.
Within each “.doc” or “.docx” file for the assignments, please include the following in the upper right hand corner:
“Group #, Assignment #”
For example, “Group 7, Assignment 3”
In the file title name, please follow this format:
“Group # Assignment #”
For example, “Group 2 Assignment 2.doc” or “Group 8 Assignment 1.docx”
In subject line of the email that you send us with your assignment file attached, please follow this format:
“CHS211A (or CHS 211B) Group # Assignment #”
For example, “CHS 211A Group 3 Assignment 2” or “CHS 211B Group 12 Assignment 6”
Remember, you must send an email to both professors and your special reader.
3. Procedures
It is expected that all assignments will be emailed on time on the date due before the start of class (10am). We will make
every attempt to return all assignments to you the following week. You will receive a confirmation email from your
special reader upon receipt of the assignment. Your special reader will notify you of any issues with emailed assignments.
When you get an assignment back, we encourage you to look at the written comments and make sure that you understand
what the comments mean. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the faculty’s office hours. If you would like to
discuss your project, your entire group is expected to attend and be on time.
If you have problems in the course, make an appointment during office hours with a reader or an instructor. Other
suggestions are to form study groups with your friends, and read supplementary textbooks. We also encourage you to
consult with other faculty in the department or the school who are knowledgeable about the topic area of your project.
You are welcome to ask to have an assignment or examination re-graded. We will re-grade the entire assignment or
examination, not just a specific point you raise. Thus, it is possible that your grade could go down.
4. Peer Evaluation
At the conclusion of each quarter each student will complete a peer evaluation form to evaluate fellow group members.
Each student will receive up to five points each quarter based on this assessment. These peer evaluation forms are due on
the last day of class in both 211A (March 14, 2012) and 211B (TBA). Remember that the peer evaluations account for 5%
of the final grade for each quarter.

Assignment 3: Intervention strategies and activities
Describe the key strategies and activities that you have
chosen to meet the goals and objectives defined in
Assignment 2. Identify the specific strategies that you will use in your
program (e.g., health education, health promotion,
institutional change, social marketing, policy change, skill
building, community organizing, community building) to
reach your goals and objectives. Describe the various activities related to each strategy. For
example, if you chose an educational intervention,
activities might include curriculum design, lectures, or skill
building. Explain how each activity relates to your strategies, goals
and objectives. The bottom line: How do you plan to
facilitate change on the part of your targets (e.g.,
individuals, groups, institutions, or communities) through
your individual strategies or the combination of strategies? Give the basis for your plan. Explain any plans to pretest or
pilot any elements of your strategies and activities. The strategies and activities section should be informed by
your needs assessment and formative research and directly
related to your goals and objectives. The strategies and
activities chosen should derive from your conceptual and
theoretical framework. That is, use theory to inform your
intervention. A common mistake is that people begin with
an intervention and try to construct a theory for framework
after the fact. Use diagrams and flow charts, if appropriate, to help clarify
your messages. Cite relevant literature.
