Course description
The course gives an introduction of concepts that shape and are shaped by health science. Discussions and critical reflectionon on these concepts forms the basis for understanding implementation and utilization of evidence-based interventions in this field of research.
Illustrations will be used to generate discussion about research methodologies, methods, and implementation strategies. Moreover, the course rests on assumptions that utility/relevance of research is important, thus challenging course participants to reflect on the practice and social implications as well as utility for health science research. The course builds on illustrations from different fields such as environmental medicine, health education, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychology, public health, and social work to name some.
This course is given jointly for the Research School in Health Science, for which this is a mandatory course.
