Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Current mutations of Public Health policies create difficulties to establish efficiently, in the field, actions within health promotion. The objective of this course is to better understand these difficulties, to identify obstacles that could come from mobilized professional cultures and to think about the issues in terms of public policy, inter- and intra- regional cooperation, with the aim of an expected renewal in education, prevention and local health initiatives.
Students should acquire the bases to establish a research protocol essential for any public health promotion and should acquire the necessary tools to carry out a health promotion project.
