Discussion 7

Read “Evidence-Based Public Health – A Fundamental Concept for Public Health Practice” by Brownson, et al., 2009, located in the Reading & Study folder in Module/Week 7. Discuss the following points in your initial thread.

• What is evidence-based public health (EBPH), and why does it matter?
• Compare and contrast the analytical tools of EBPH (systematic reviews, public health surveillance, economic evaluation, health impact assessment, and participatory approaches).
• In what ways do systematic reviews provide better evidence on which to base intervention decisions than personal experience? Why should qualitative data from community members be considered in the mix of evidence when planning a community-based intervention

How does Christianity blend historical reviews and personal experience as credentials of its authenticity?
