Specific topics that will be covered include: the policy context for HTA, methods and processes of HTA, an overview of economic evaluation methods, cost and benefit estimation, economic evaluation using patient-level data, economic evaluation using decision-analytic modelling, and using economic evaluation in healthcare decision-making. Numerous examples and case studies are used to illustrate the main points and considerable emphasis is placed on learning through group work and exercises. There will be ample opportunity for students to discuss any issues or problems they have already encountered in the field of HTA and economic evaluation. The course will be of particular benefit to those working in the health care sector who have a need to present a case for funding or reimbursement of particular health care treatments or programs. 2. Applied Systems Thinking for Health Systems Managers and Researchers Health systems are complex adaptive systems. They often operate in rapidly changing social, political and economic environments and are characterized by difficult governance of multiple stakeholders with different agendas and interests, fragmented sub-systems, multiple non-aligned financing arrangements, and incoherent information flows. This makes intervening in health systems a difficult (and exciting) endeavour. Systems thinking and system thinking tools can help policy makers, health system managers, development agents or the public make sense of this complexity, and propose appropriate interventions to tackle appropriate problems of health systems. In this course, we provide a primer on what systems thinking is and why it matters for both designing and evaluating health system interventions and reforms. We share practical examples of how systems thinking is currently being applied, to solve common problems faced by health systems practitioners. Throughout the week, we will introduce a selection of systems thinking tools and approaches tools in hands-on applied methods sessions, and then apply what has been learned in practical case studies undertaken by individual and group work. The selected tools and approaches will include: mind mapping for intervention integration; social network analysis; process mapping and modelling; causal loop diagrams; group model building.

4 ABSTRACTS 3 DAY COURSES 27 TH 29 TH AUGUST Policy Options on Mental Health - From pressing issues and challenges, to the design, assessment, and implementation of policy, plans, and interventions for mental health Pending and pressing issues and challenges in public mental health Research methods, complex interventions and evidence-based guidelines design, assessment, and implementation Mental Health Policy and Plans, and Mental Health Services Identification and use of policy options for the implementation of mental health policies 1.2 Health Financing Policies, Health System Performance and Obstacles to Universal Coverage The course provides students with an overview of the patterns and key issues of health systems financing policies, with an emphasis on critical assessment of current and future policy options and issues. The course analyses methods and tools to assess health financing policies and it reviews effective policy instruments to improve health system performance through better health financing policy. It is structured around the following topics: Objectives of health financing system; Raising revenues thinking outside the box; Pooling revenues insurance, taxes and the costs of fragmentation; Purchasing getting more health for the money including questions of benefits packages; Health system development that complements health financing reforms; Coordinating reform aligning policy instruments with policy objectives. The course offers examples and practical experiences from low, middle, and high income countries. The key principles and challenges of attaining and maintaining universal coverage, as well as the tools analysed, are relevant to low, middle and high income countries. 1.3 Tackling the challenge of chronic illness from patient/family and health care organization perspective Chronic illness is the health care challenge of the 21st century across countries. This course addresses chronic illness management at the level of patient/family, health care provider (micro level) and health care organization (meso level). The overall goal is to learn how to reengineer and optimize care processes towards evidence based chronic illness management in a range of different health care settings. The course will make visible what chronic illness management entails at the get rid of space and health care organization level to live with chronic conditions and provide the basic principles on how health care providers can assist patients in behavioral change to adhere to therapies and to modify behavioral risk factors. Further we aim at providing the conceptual basis for organizational change towards models of chronic illness management that also include coordination of care and inter-professional collaboration within health care organizations. We will use examples of different types of settings and patient populations. This course will have a student group project as backbone and student learning will be stimulated by specific state of science inputs of the faculty, case studies, group work, and group discussions. 1.4 Public health and health service interventions for the prevention and control of NCDs The course addresses public health strategies to curb NCDs, and changes needed in the health care system, with regards to the most cost-effective, affordable and scalable interventions ( best buys ). The respective contributions of multisectoral public health interventions vs. changes needed within the health care system are identified and discussed. The focus is on discussing, exposing and contrasting the respective contributions of public health interventions targeting the whole population (relying largely on non-health actors) and measures to strengthen the health system (involving mainly health care actors and focusing on individuals at risk) toward NCD prevention and control. 1.5 Multisectoral approaches for health: Implications for Policy and Practice This course provides an introductory perspective on determinants of health, equity and multisectoral approaches. Building on earlier debates on determinants of health it will discuss why multisectoral approaches and collaboration are needed to advance the Agenda 2030 health goal. Practical examples of multisectoral collaborations will be reviewed in form of group work and case studies to provide the participants with an understanding of different models of multisectoral collaboration, their implications as well as the challenges and ways to overcome them.

5 ABSTRACTS 3 DAY COURSES 30 TH AUGUST 1 ST SEPTEMBER Communication to Influence Health Behaviours? Understanding and Doing BCC Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) is a type of communication designed for the purpose of influencing health related behaviour by motivating, informing, persuading, or inspiring them through knowledge attainment and or attitudinal change. The importance of communication is increasingly being recognized by governments and donors and as such, individuals are tasked with designing communication that fixes some incredibly complex behaviours, improves people s lives, and saves healthcare costs. Designing effective communication requires skills and knowhow. Participants in this course will learn the evidence associated with BCC and how to design effective BCC. 2.2 Applied Health for Policy Design and Evaluation The health care sector is extremely complex, and this gives rise to concerns about how the health system should be organised, how incentives should be designed, and how performance should be evaluated. The objective of the course is to give students an introduction to how health systems are constructed, and how the various parts of the system interact; the role of regulation, resource allocation, payment arrangements, and performance measurement; the complexities of evaluating policy and performance; and the contribution that health economics can make to the design and evaluation of health policy. During the course we will tackle the challenges of priority setting, consider options for financing universal health coverage, assess funding arrangements for health care providers and methods to evaluate provider performance. We will consider patient reported outcome measures, and how these can be used to inform policy, practice and patient choice. We will learn how to assess the utilisation and costs of care of individuals and how this information can be used to address the policy challenges of caring for people with multiple long term conditions. We will consider hospital configuration and bed modelling to assess how many hospital beds are needed and where should they be. We shall discuss the challenges associated with comparing health system performance. Participants are introduced to variety of evaluative techniques and statistical and econometric methods as the course progresses. 2.3 Understanding Research and Biostatistics for Public Health Practitioners and Policy Makers Understanding, evaluating and interpreting the results from medical research is essential for public health practitioners and policy makers. Challenges include appreciating the strengths and biases in study design, understanding the use (and abuse) of statistics, and misrepresentation in the reporting of results. This course will cover matters of study design in medical research, key statistical concepts and critical appraisal of published reports. Different study designs will be considered including case-control studies, cohort studies and randomised controlled trials. Key statistical concepts will be introduced including the main types of outcome, the use of effect measures and confidence intervals, and the use and role statistical hypothesis testing. Reporting from clinical studies will consider how effects might be misrepresented and misinterpreted. A wide variety of examples will be used to illustrate these issues from a range of diseases areas and from low, middle and high income countries. The teaching will be a mix of interactive lectures and groups practicals and discussions. 2.4 Better Health Faster: Using Law and Policy Effectively in Public Health Introduction to transdisciplinary public health law and legal epidemiology; developing legal solutions to public health law problems; using the Five Essential Public Health Law Services Framework in planning and evaluating legal interventions. Introduction to international human rights law and health; and mechanisms to operationalize such standards at UN, regional and national level. 2.5 Strategic Project Management Introduction into the theory of strategic Project Cycle Management and the Logical Framework Approach. Problem identification using the Problem Tree. Planning and designing a project related to health, following the Logical Framework Approach step by step in theory and practice, including a Monitoring and Evaluation framework. Presentation of the project in plenary. After successful completion of the course, participants will be able to: know about the basic principles of project cycle management (PCM) and strategic project management have the first experiences with the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) and its utilization for writing a project proposal.
