COVID-19
Bienvenidos a esta edición especial, simplificada y sin certificación de
seguimiento, del curso sobre Primeros Auxilios Psicológicos, impartido en
castellano por la Unidad de Crisis de la Universidad Autónoma de
Barcelona (UAB) desde el año 2015.\n\nAnte la actual pandemia causada
por el COVID 19, desde la UAB, en colaboración con la plataforma
Coursera, hemos considerado que puede una selección de los materiales
correspondientes al curso completo puede ayudar tanto a las familias
como a los profesionales a responder con mayor eficacia al estrés que
están generando el miedo al contagio, el confinamiento y las cantidad de
muertes que se están produciendo.\n\nHemos seleccionado los materiales
más importantes para entender qué son los Primeros Auxilios
Psicológicos, cómo deben de aplicarse a los niños entre 3 y 12 años y
cómo podemos ayudar a los adultos en esta época tan complicada. Al
final, hemos añadido un módulo muy importante con técnicas de
autocuidado para todos los profesionales que están interviniendo en esta
situación.\n\nAclaramos que ésta es una edición especial para ayudar a
las comunidades que están solicitando ayuda para abordar la difícil
situación emocional de las personas. Con este fin hemos agilizado al
máximo el proceso de estudio: no hay lecturas, no hay cuestionarios y no
hay proyecto final. Y, a cambio, vamos a ofrecerles una tutorización muy
cercana a través de los foros, con el fin de facilitar el contacto entre la
comunidad de estudiantes y nuestros docentes.

Science
Matters: Let's
Talk About
COVID-19
Welcome to ‘Science Matters: Let's Talk about COVID-19’, from the Abdul Latif Jameel
Institute for Disease and Emergency Analytics (J-IDEA) at Imperial College London.\n\nThe
outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is the most significant public health
emergency of the 21st century so far. As the epidemic spreads, people around the world want
to understand the science behind the most pressing questions: how many people have been
infected? How dangerous is the virus? When will a vaccine be available? How can the
epidemic be contained, and the damages mitigated? What is the economic impact? What’s
the role of social media and local communities in the epidemic response? \n\nResearchers at
J-IDEA and other research institutes at Imperial College London have been at the forefront of
the response to the COVID-19 emergency, with clinical, epidemiological and social science
analyses informing the outbreak response. They are generating robust empirical evidence that
governments and international agencies are using around the world to plan their responses.
\n\nOn this course, you will hear directly from our world-class experts about the theory behind
the analyses of COVID-19 and its spread, while learning how to interpret new information
using core principles of public health, epidemiology, medicine, health economics, and social
science. You will be able to watch regular situation reports about the state of the epidemic,
provided by the researchers of J-IDEA and its director Professor Neil Ferguson. \n\nIf you
want to learn even more about these topics, a number of free MOOCs are available from
Imperial College London. We also offer a fully online Global Master of Public Health for those
of you who want to delve even deeper and join our professional community. \n\nPlease
note:\n\nThis course was launched in February 2020 and we have continued to develop
content as the COVID-19 situation progresses and new insights emerge. While we endeavour
to include the most recent information, this is a fast-moving situation and information is
constantly changing. \n\nThis course is to be used for educational purposes only and is open
to all and free of charge. \n\nThe information in this course does not constitute clinical or other

Contact
Tracing
The COVID-19 crisis has created an unprecedented need for contact
tracing across the country, requiring thousands of people to learn key skills
quickly. The job qualifications for contact tracing positions differ throughout
the country and the world, with some new positions open to individuals with
a high school diploma or equivalent. \n\nIn this introductory course,
students will learn about the science of SARS-CoV-2 , including the
infectious period, the clinical presentation of COVID-19, and the evidence
for how SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted from person-to-person and why contact
tracing can be such an effective public health intervention. Students will
learn about how contact tracing is done, including how to build rapport with
cases, identify their contacts, and support both cases and their contacts to
stop transmission in their communities. The course will also cover several
important ethical considerations around contact tracing, isolation, and
quarantine. Finally, the course will identify some of the most common
barriers to contact tracing efforts -- along with strategies to overcome them.

Times
You may be encountering a world unlike any other generation. The public health
crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic has created a context of pervasive uncertainty,
heightened anxiety, and social isolation that overlaps with a critical time of your
own learning and development. The COVID-19 pandemic also has exacerbated
long-standing inequalities and disparities, and recent events in the United States
have laid bare historical and current realities of racism and systemic oppression.
These challenges make starting college complicated in unprecedented ways,
compounded by the fact that our university settings are themselves complex and
rapidly changing. These challenges also present unique opportunities for
interdisciplinary and practical learning. \n\nThis course aims to help you navigate
this world and the new conditions for learning with knowledge and skill. We
designed the course with participatory methods, which means that we asked
students to take a key role as partners with faculty in designing the course content,
structure, and learning experiences. Together, we sought to integrate faculty
expertise with the perspectives and experiences of students to make the course
material relevant to your life. \n\nIn this class, we will explore perspectives on
disease and society and on systemic racism and inequality with scholars in the
natural sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, education, communications
and media, and engineering. Engaging these disciplines to examine the complex
problems of the global pandemic and systemic racism will help you build conceptual
and practical skills that you will use throughout college and beyond. \n\nIn
conjunction with investigating health and social crises, new and ongoing, we also
will explore the science and practice of individual and community wellness. You will
learn skills relevant to emotions, relationships, common mental health concerns,
and learning in the age of Zoom and remote classes. You will learn practices of
cooperation, compassion, and anti-racism for community wellness.\n\nWelcome

Introduction to
Climate
Change and
Health
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human health in the 21st
century. Yet these impacts to health are still not well recognized. Since you
can’t change what you don’t understand, this course is designed to equip
health and environmental professionals, as well as other changemakers
and the public, with critical and usable knowledge to take positive action.
The course begins with an introduction to the science of climate change
and how climate change affects human health. It takes a deep dive into
climate change’s adverse health effects, including those related to extreme
heat, waterborne infections, insect-borne diseases, and exposure to storms
and floods. Throughout, the theme of health equity is interwoven by
pointing to what factors make some populations more vulnerable than
others to climate change’s negative health impacts. Finally, the course
explains how measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can not only
limit future climate change but can also generate substantial immediate
health “co-benefits” over and above the benefit of reducing climate
change.\n\nFollowing completion of the course, students will be able to: \n·
At an introductory level, describe how the climate has changed, explain
the role of greenhouse gases in climate change, and describe how the
climate is predicted to change in the future. \n· Describe how climate
change adversely impacts population health, with differing vulnerability
across population sub-groups, through direct effects; through ecosystem
transformation and degradation; and through the stress it places on
political, economic, and social systems. \n· Explain how adaptation and
mitigation strategies can reduce adverse health impacts of climate change
and can generate substantial non-climate health benefits in a just and
equitable manner.

Humanitarian
Crises 1
This course, Public Health in Humanitarian Crises 1, introduces discussions about
the public health approach to problems experienced by people affected by
disasters, both natural and related to conflict. The course discusses the many
changes which occur in people’s lives when they are uprooted by a disaster,
ranging from changes in disease patterns, access to health care, livelihoods,
shelter, sanitary conditions, nutritional status, etceteras. We will explore what
humanitarian interventions could look like if we want to mitigate the effects of
disasters. The course content is a mix of theoretical knowledge and many practical
examples from recent disasters. We think this course is unique because it contains
so many practical ‘real-life’ examples and is taught by instructors and guest
lecturers who together have over 200 years of experience in this field. \n\nThe
course consists of 10 modules totaling approximately 9-10 hours of delivered
content with an additional 2-3 hours of self-work (quizzes and writing and
evaluating a short peer-review assignment) as well as lively discussions forums.
The course has been designed in a way that each module builds on the lessons of
previous modules. However, you may do the modules in any order and some can
be done separately. \n\nYou do not have to pay for this course if you choose to
enroll without a certificate. Sometimes referred to as auditing, enrolling without a
certificate means that you will have access to all of the videos, quizzes,
assignments, and discussions. The only difference is that you will not receive a
certificate upon completion. Click the Enroll Without a Certificate link to sign up and
begin the course. Even if you enroll in a session that has yet to begin, you may

The Critical
Role of IT
Support Staff
in Healthcare
This is a very exciting time to be exploring a career in Health IT Support! In
this introductory course, you’ll learn about various roles in IT support that
are common in healthcare. IT support staff play critical roles in many
different healthcare venues. In addition to helping clinics, hospitals, and
emergency rooms, you may end up providing support in a skilled nursing
facility, ambulatory surgical center, virtual care setting, or even a patient’s
home! On any given day, you may interact with nurses, physicians,
pharmacists, physical therapists, social workers, other allied health
professionals, patients or caregivers. Each of these individuals rely on IT
support specialists to help them maintain a high reliability healthcare
organization. As you learn about what makes Health IT unique, we hope
you find inspiration in the stories shared by some of our very own IT
support staff at Johns Hopkins. They’ll talk to you about the most common
problems they help resolve as well as the complexity and range of issues
that arise. Whether you dream of being an end-user computer support

Fundamentals
In this course you will receive an overview of the health IT ecosystem with
a specific focus on the role of electronic health records (EHRs). You’ll be
introduced to the factors that contributed to the move from paper records to
digitized records and who the most common vendors are. We’ll go over
features of EHRs such as computerized provider order entry, clinical
decision support, documentation capabilities, and medication
reconciliation. Like a physician’s stethoscope, the EHR has become an
important tool in healthcare delivery and plays a part throughout the
patient’s journey. You’ll go through each of the steps from patient
scheduling, to front desk registration, outpatient visits, emergency room
encounters, and inpatient admissions. \n\nDuring the course, we’ll also
cover examples of how technical issues related to the EHR can be as
simple as problems with logging or password resets. But how they can also
be more complex related to alerts that are firing and the display of
information. Although some of those challenges are beyond the scope of
the IT support staff, having familiarity with the scope of potential problems
and the broader EHR landscape is important. This course also includes an
introduction to database architecture, servers, and interfaces. We wrap up
by discussing the importance of training end-users on healthcare
technology and the way in which effective change management strategies
are crucial.

In the final course of the Healthcare IT Support program, we will focus on
the types of healthcare data that you need to be aware, complexities of
security and privacy within healthcare, and issues related to compliance
and reporting. As a health IT support specialist, you’ll be exposed to
different types of data sources and data elements that are utilized in
healthcare. It’s important for you to understand the basic language of
healthcare data and for you to recognize the sensitive nature of protected
health information (PHI). Maintaining data privacy and security is
everyone’s responsibility, including IT support staff! We’ll go into detail
about HIPAA and the risks associated with security breaches, ransomware
and phishing. We’ll go into detail about some of the key laws and
regulations specific to healthcare and the importance of compliance with
them. \n\nYou'll leave this course well versed on the Stark Law, the Joint

make you standout, and words of advice on the endless possibilities in this
dynamic and growing field. Make sure you talk to others who’ve been there
before about the process of being hired at a large health system. Be rest
assured that you’ll receive training when you start a new role, and you

Have you ever though that healthcare quality could be improved - either
where you get health care treatment or where you delivery health care?
Have you ever thought that there should be a way for you to determine the
relative quality of your choices? Have you found yourself thinking that there
should be a way for you to provide your view and input on the quality of
healthcare organization? Or do you work in a healthcare organization and
find yourself thinking that there must be better ways to continuously and
systematically improve the quality of your healthcare organization? If you
have, this course is for you.\n\nCourse content includes an overview of
quality and quality improvement programs, measures, and data in
healthcare organizations. The course provides links to external sites to
connect you to the larger "real world" of healthcare organization quality and
quality improvement. The links also serve as resources you can take with
you after you complete the course experience. And because everyone
loves a road trip/field trip, there are also "virtual field trips" to the often
hidden places of interest on the web. \n\nThe course format is readings,
videos, quizzes, and a project. The project requires you to synthesize
course material to design a quality improvement program for a healthcare
organization the way you would have things run in the best of all worlds.

course which you can circulate to colleagues or use as the basis for talks

This course will introduce you to participatory approaches to public health.
You will learn about the history of participatory health research and why it
is essential to solving contemporary public health challenges. The course
will help you to understand the social and cultural context of public health,
before introducing you to essential concepts for working with communities:
knowledge and power. Finally, you will engage with critical analyses of
participatory approaches, to help you to determine if and when such
strategies are appropriate. Throughout the course you will analyse real-
world case studies of community-based health projects, including historical
HIV social movements, public health projects with sex workers, and
participatory approaches to the COVID-19 pandemic. The course will equip
you to practice public health in partnership with local communities. It is

This course specifically explores approaches and tools and how to apply
them in public health settings. Students will learn how to critically analyse
the power dynamics present between multidisciplinary stakeholders and
appreciate the need for reciprocity between those delivering and those
receiving health care; between both those conducting and those
participating in research. They will also learn how to select and evaluate
different participatory approaches to apply these to public health
programmes and/or research. Tools with which to do this include
undertaking a stakeholder-mapping exercise and needs assessment,
including a critical and reasoned narrative to justify the approach.

overview of the main elements or building blocks of a health system based
on the World Health Organization’s guidance. You will have the opportunity
to explore four main areas of health systems in global health with particular
reference to low and middle income countries. The first area focuses on
understanding health service organizations, the challenges. Our second

Care
This course explores why primary health care is central for achieving
Health for All. It provides examples of how primary health care has been
instrumental in approaching this goal in selected populations and how the
principles of primary health care can guide future policies and

global health, their origins and meanings, the principles upon which they
rest, and examples of how these principles have been implemented at both
small and large scale. We will also explore some ultra-low-cost
approaches to Health for All through primary health care, and the promise
that primary health care holds for eventually achieving Health for

Diagnosing
Health
Behaviors for
Global Health
Programs
Health behavior lies at the core of any successful public health
intervention. While we will examine the behavior of individual in depth in
this course, we also recognize by way of the Ecological Model that
individual behavior is encouraged or constrained by the behavior of
families, social groups, communities, organizations and policy makers. We
recognize that behavior change is not a simplistic process but requires an
understanding of dimensions like frequency, complexity and cultural
congruity. Such behavioral analysis is strengthened through the use of a
toolkit of theoretical models and practical frameworks. While many of such
models and frameworks exist, in this course we will review the Health
Belief Model, Social Learning Theory, Theory of Reasoned Action, the
Trans-Theoretical Model and the PRECEDE Framework. After building
your behavioral analysis toolkit with these examples, you will see that
actual behavior change program planning uses a combination of ideas and
variables from different models, theories and frameworks. Ultimately we
aim to encourage course participants to apply the idea that successful
programs are theory based as they go about involving people in improving
their health.

Community
Change in
Public Health
In bringing about behavior change in public health, we often focus on the
individual mother, student, or farmer. We should not forget the community
structure and norms constrain for encouraging individual health behaviors.
This course examines the community context of the changes needed to
promote the public’s health. We begin by examining the various definitions
of ‘community’ and the processes by which we ‘diagnose’ or seek to
understand the structure and characteristics of different types of
communities.\n\nAn appreciation of community similarities and differences
is necessary lest we fall into the trap of designing one-size-fits-all
interventions. We need to recognize that no matter that outsiders may view
a community as poor or neglected, we can find strengths and capacities for
improvement in each community. Identifying community capacities and
resources is the first step in facilitating community change. Different
practical and philosophical approaches to change and therefore, examined.
Specific to the change process is our recognition of the need for
communities to participate in the design, implementation and evaluation of
any intervention.\n\nWe examine the concept of participation in an effort to
see how different levels of involvement may affect sustainability of
community change efforts. Finally a case study of a community
participatory approach to onchocerciasis control in Africa is presented.
Community Directed Intervention has subsequently been successfully
applied to providing other essential primary health care services by and in
the community, such as insecticide treated bednets, malaria treatment,
vitamin A distribution, deworming medicines, and pneumonia and diarrhea
case management.

society in 2020. From COVID-19 and the devastating economic impacts of the
pandemic to racial justice protests, widespread natural disasters, our current
cultural moment presents unprecedented mental health concerns, and particularly
for marginalized communities. For this reason, I led a field-wide call to action for
mental health research and treatment that resulted in this #TalkMentalIllness
course. I had the opportunity to speak to over 30 experts from different domains in
psychology research, practice, and popular public figures and to discuss the
causes and cutting-edge treatments for many serious disorders, the stigma
surrounding mental illness in our culture, systemic inequality in mental health
treatment, and the mental health challenges of today.\n \n#talkmentalillness
curates the interviews from the Mental Health Experts series into an accessible
learning experience that will help you have conversations about mental health.
Talking about mental illness is both the content and desired outcome of this
course, as you will use what you learn from my interviews with mental health
experts to guide your own discussions about mental health challenges and
treatments with family members, friends, colleagues, and other people in your life.
The course will begin by presenting a core set of definitions for mental illness and
analyzing the stigma associated with it. We will then apply these topics to specific
psychological disorders, including anxiety and mood disorders, eating disorders,
suicide, substance use, and psychosis. We will then consider how these issues
disproportionately impact marginalized groups and communities of color. The
course will conclude by considering innovative approaches to psychological
treatments and how the pursuit and science of happiness inform mental health and
wellness.\n \nThis course is part of a broader educational mission to share the
science of mental illness with both students and the public, both locally and
globally. I have designed and created it in collaboration with the Office for
Academic Innovation and Libraries’ Media Services Team at the University of
Colorado Boulder.\n\n- June Gruber

Foundations of
Public Health
Practice: The
Public Health
Approach
The Public Health Approach course is the first instalment of the wider
Foundations of Public Health Practice specialisation from Imperial College
London's Global Master of Public Health (MPH). The scope and content of
this course has been developed from the ground up by a combined team of
academics and practitioners drawing on decades of real-world public
health experience as well as deep academic knowledge. Through short
video lectures, practitioner interviews and a wide range of interactive
activities, learners will be immersed in the world of public health
practice.\n\nDesigned for those new to the discipline, over four modules
(intended for four weeks of learning), learners will become familiar with the
scope, origins, ethics, principles and paradigms of public health practice.
But there is also important foundational content for those coming from
more experienced practitioner backgrounds. The 'Public Health Approach'
is a phrase that is used widely to describe an up-stream, preventive,
values-driven and evidence-based approach to improving population
health. By the end of this course, learners will be confident with identifying
and describing a wide range of public health challenges using the language
and reference points of the public health profession.\n\nThe subsequent
courses require the knowledge from this course, as learners will be
introduced to the public health toolkit of health needs assessment and
evaluation, before taking deeper dives into behaviour change and health
protection.

practice.\n\nDesigned for those new to the discipline, over three modules
(intended for three weeks of learning), learners will become familiar with
the scope, theory and implementation of behaviour change in the context of
public health practice. The course begins by challenging learners about
their preconceptions about healthy and unhealthy behaviour - seeking to
contextualise these ideas within the broader public health approach (the
first course of this specialisation). The course thereafter swiftly covers the
origins of risk communication and behaviour change through the lens of
health psychology and classical economics, before introducing ideas of
bounded rationality and the genesis of behavioural insights and so-called
Nudges. By the end of the course, learners will be fluent with their use of
the Behaviour Change Wheel methodology of intervention development
and the application of the COM-B framework to a range of target
behaviours and behavioural barriers.\n\nThe subsequent courses of this
specialisation will cover health protection before moving into the final
(degree learner) course which where learners will focus on developing the
core professional skillset that defines public health practitioners - whether
in service or academia.

Public Mental Health is the application of the principles of medicine and
social science to prevent the occurrence of mental and behavioral
disorders and to promote mental health of the population. This course
illustrates the principles of public health applied to depressive disorder,
including principles of epidemiology, transcultural psychiatry, health
services research, and prevention. It is predicted that by 2020 depressive
disorder will be the most important cause of disease burden in the entire
world! Every human being suffers from feeling depressed at some point or
other, but only about one fifth of the population will experience an episode
of depressive disorder over the course of their lives. This course
illuminates the public health approach to disease, and the particular
complexities of applying this approach to mental disorders, using
