This set of interconnected sessions introduces a range of skills and concepts through participatory activities focused on a specific question. (The example in the video concerns the social determinants of under-five mortality.)

Students will:

• reflect on the philosophies of knowledge within their own disciplines
• recognise the contribution of other disciplines and the importance of multidisciplinarity
• learn efficient ways to search for, read, critique, summarize and reference academic articles
• identify, through a literature search, their discipline’s contribution to exploring, describing and evaluating interventions in order to understand the specific public-health question you have chosen
• understand and use the concept of social determinants of health and the social levels at which they operate
• collectively construct a research framework
