Week 13: Revisiting the Pop Health KT Literature -- Filling the Gaps
Key questions:
What guidance does the mainstream Pop Health KT literature provide for designing and implementing high quality KT strategies?
What guidance remains missing?
How can thinking about power, thinking like a movement, and thinking like a marketer address those gaps and/or address the five anxieties in the mainstream literature?
What other material/information may be beneficial when trying to fill those gaps?
Course material this week contributes to the following Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) recommended core competencies:
ASPPH Competency Bullet 3: Systems thinking regarding the dynamic interactions among sectors, organizations, and actors with which public health professionals interact to achieve health improvements, drawing (from ASPPH Competency Bullet 1) on the history and philosophy of public health as well as its core values, concepts, functions and leadership roles.

Feedback re Assignment 3.
Students will reflect on the mainstream population health KT papers that we have already read during the course of the semester. Students prepare and present short summaries (approx 5 minutes, depending on # of students in the class). The summaries will assess the strengths and weaknesses of a selected article. At the conclusion of the student presentations, the class will synthesize together an overall evaluation of the population health KT literature in preparation for preparing KT Field Guides as Assignment 4.
Students will present on one of the following readings from earlier in the semester. All papers will be presented by at least one student.
