MODULE 1
Q1
Defining international or global health is important and some
consider global health synonymous with public health. Select
one of the following two statements:
1. Global health is public health requiring similar training and
research methods.
2. Global health is a separate discipline requiring specific
training and research methods.
Identify at least two arguments that support the selected
statement and provide sources to support those arguments.
Identify and discuss one historical event that is important in
how global health is understood today and how that event
supports your argument. For one of your substantive responses,
identify another classmate that selected the opposite statement
and provide at least one point of agreement and one point of
disagreement.?
Q2
Poverty is central to health and development in low-income and
middle-income countries. State your definition of poverty prior
to studying public health. Based on this definition, what would
be the focus of poverty alleviation solutions? Based on the
relational and spiritual definition of poverty, discuss how the
focus of solutions would change to include a holistic approach.
Identify an example of a health program or solution that
integrates a relational definition of poverty. Watch the video on
"Defining Poverty" to help in responding to this discussion

MODULE 2
Q1
Review the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals,
then evaluate the following statement by Katja Iversen, CEO of
Women Deliver: "The SDGs are not a menu, they are a
roadmap. We need to ask ourselves: Who can we do this with,
and who does this affect?"
Discuss the difference between a roadmap and menu in
reference to the SDGs and why a roadmap analogy makes more
sense. In your response, reference at least two different goals
between Goals 4 and 17 that are connected to health.
Additionally, identify two key targets for reaching Goal 3 and
why you think these are critical. Discuss two actions you could
take to help make progress toward reaching the SDGs as a
global society. Refer to the United Nations’ “The Lazy Person’s
Guide to Saving the World” in the Topic Materials.

MODULE 3
Q1
Globalization involves several features, including governance
structures, communication, mobility, technology, and the
environment. Based on the readings for this topic, identify two
features of globalization that you think are the most important
and discuss one example for each as to how it influences health.
Identify a health issue that was not a global threat in the past
but, due to changes in globalization, is now a global threat.
Discuss what countries might do to prepare for this emerging
health threat considering the issue of human rights in low-
income and middle-income countries.
Q2
Public health and health care systems are impacted by
globalization the exchange of new ideas, and opportunities to
influence the larger field of global health. As you consider the
factors related to globalization, discuss how low-income and
middle-income countries should navigate the balance in
building strong public health systems alongside an efficient
health care system. What three pieces of advice would you give
the Minister of Health in a country like Zambia or Nepal when
it comes to the structure and integration of health care and
public health?

MODULE 4
Q1
Social and economic inequalities lead to imbalances in
opportunities for advancement and growth. These imbalances
lead to a greater sense of insecurity and lack of control.
Microfinance or village banking programs are approaches used
to encourage shared risk, security in savings, and opportunities
for capacity building. Discuss the potential of such
microfinance programs in lower-income communities where
irregular income is common and their impact on reducing social
and economic disparities. In your response, identify a specific
example of such a program in a low-income or middle-income
country and critically discuss one challenge and one benefit of
the program. Evaluate the relationship between economic
microfinance programs and social inequalities..
Q2
Inequalities lead to feelings of despair, depression, and anxiety
often associated with substance use disorders. Consider the
following scenario: Mr. Banda is a middle-aged man living in
rural Malawi with a wife and three young children. He often
travels to find work while his wife and children maintain the
family farm to sustain themselves. Recently, Mr. Banda found
out he was HIV positive without access to HIV antiretroviral
therapy in the village. He became severely depressed and turned
to alcohol to help him cope as an available social outlet. Over
time, he started to drink on credit against his family's harvest.
When harvest time came, the tavern owner showed up at Mr.
Banda's home demanding half of his harvest to pay off his debt.
Mr. Banda has come to you to ask for help. How would you
respond to Mr. Banda after he shared his story with you?
Discuss three social or economic inequalities influencing Mr.
Banda's actions and options. How would you leverage the
strengths of faith-based organizations or
churches in the area to address these factors influencing Mr.
Banda's options assuming others in the community are going
through similar situations? Watch the "Aid and Development"
video to help you in answering this discussion question.

Q1
Cultural competence and cultural humility are central in
engaging and communicating with community members and
leaders. Provide your own definition of cultural humility in the
context of public health. How does your definition compare to
the points made about cultural humility in the Topic Material
entitled "Reflections on Cultural Humility"? In addition to
cultural humility, describe one other principle necessary when
communicating public health content to engage communities to
act. Describe a real example of this principle in action..
Q2
Sustainable community health strategies in economically
diverse communities constitute the goal of public health. An
international perspective is helpful to consider the diverse
cultural beliefs, social systems, and values that make up a
community. True transformation happens from within the
community and includes intentional focus on the whole person
and surrounding influences. Asset-based community
development (ABCD) is an approach used to help facilitators
focus on community assets rather than only discussing problems
and needs. Evaluate and critique the ABCD approach. Is it
realistic to think that poor communities have existing and
unrecognized assets that can lead to economic opportunities?
Discuss two benefits and two challenges when it comes to the
effectiveness of ABCD in mobilizing communities for
development.

MODULE 7
Q1
The textbook states, that often orphanages "ignore the power
and presence of local communities and extended families in
caring for orphans. Not only that, but many times exacerbate the
challenges faced by orphans because they contribute to the
cycle of 'attachment and abandonment,' owning to the short-
term nature of these volunteer efforts" (p. 191). Evaluate this
statement given what you know about the well-being of
children. In what situations would orphanages or institutions for
children be appropriate options and at what ages? How would a
country's Department or Ministry of Health apply a Health in
All Policies approach to address the economic and social issues
presented in this statement?.
Q2
Children are foundational to health of communities made up of
family units. Understanding the context within which children
are living, playing, growing, and developing is necessary as
culture influences the definition of health. However, it is easy
to focus on the physical needs of children while neglecting the
emotional and spiritual needs of children. Provide one example
from the Bible of how children were served spiritually or
emotionally. Discuss how this example might inform your
approach in helping culturally diverse families holistically
support their children. Identify and discuss how emotional and
mental health in children might look different based on different
cultural definitions of health..

MODULE 8
Q1
Partnerships involve strong servant leadership that builds trust
based on transparency and honesty. Often, the needed programs
and practices are known but a respectful partnership with the
community is missing. Based on your experiences and the
assigned reading, discuss the importance of servant leadership
in building trust and sustainable partnerships. Identify an
example of someone who exhibited servant leadership skills in
building a cross-cultural partnership and why these efforts were
successful. State whether you agree or disagree with the
following statement and provide two reasons for your stance: A
true partnership involves risk shared by all parties.
Q2
The local church is often seen as an access point to the
community but rarely engaged in a true partnership. Discuss two
challenges and two benefits of building partnerships that
involve the local church or other communities of faith. Describe
two criteria you think are necessary for healthy and effective
partnerships that take into consideration the challenges you
mentioned. Share an example of how you have applied these
criteria in your life. For additional insight in responding to this
discussion question, watch the "Partnership Development"
video.

Identify at least two arguments that support the selected statement and provide sources to support those arguments. Identify and discuss one historical event that is important in how global health is understood today and how that event supports your argument. For one of your substantive responses, identify another classmate that selected the opposite statement and provide at least one point of agreement and one point of disagreement.? Q2 Poverty is central to health and development in low-income and middle-income countries. State your definition of poverty prior to studying public health.

We need to ask ourselves: Who can we do this with, and who does this affect?" Discuss the difference between a roadmap and menu in reference to the SDGs and why a roadmap analogy makes more sense. In your response, reference at least two different goals between Goals 4 and 17 that are connected to health. Additionally, identify two key targets for reaching Goal 3 and why you think these are critical. Discuss two actions you could

Based on the readings for this topic, identify two features of globalization that you think are the most important and discuss one example for each as to how it influences health. Identify a health issue that was not a global threat in the past but, due to changes in globalization, is now a global threat. Discuss what countries might do to prepare for this emerging health threat considering the issue of human rights in low- income and middle-income countries. Q2 Public health and health care systems are impacted by globalization the exchange of new ideas, and opportunities to influence the larger field of global health. As you consider the factors related to globalization, discuss how low-income and middle-income countries should navigate the balance in building strong public health systems alongside an efficient health care system.

  • 11. Microfinance or village banking programs are approaches used to encourage shared risk, security in savings, and opportunities for capacity building. Discuss the potential of such microfinance programs in lower-income communities where irregular income is common and their impact on reducing social and economic disparities. In your response, identify a specific example of such a program in a low-income or middle-income country and critically discuss one challenge and one benefit of the program. Evaluate the relationship between economic microfinance programs and social inequalities.. Q2 Inequalities lead to feelings of despair, depression, and anxiety often associated with substance use disorders. Consider the following scenario: Mr. Banda is a middle-aged man living in rural Malawi with a wife and three young children. He often travels to find work while his wife and children maintain the family farm to sustain themselves. Recently, Mr. Banda found out he was HIV positive without access to HIV antiretroviral therapy in the village. He became severely depressed and turned to alcohol to help him cope as an available social outlet. Over time, he started to drink on credit against his family's harvest. When harvest time came, the tavern owner showed up at Mr. Banda's home demanding half of his harvest to pay off his debt. Mr. Banda has come to you to ask for help. How would you respond to Mr. Banda after he shared his story with you? Discuss three social or economic inequalities influencing Mr. Banda's actions and options. How would you leverage the strengths of faith-based organizations or churches in the area to address these factors influencing Mr. Banda's options assuming others in the community are going through similar situations?

True transformation happens from within the community and includes intentional focus on the whole person and surrounding influences.

Not only that, but many times exacerbate the challenges faced by orphans because they contribute to the cycle of 'attachment and abandonment,' owning to the short- term nature of these volunteer efforts" (p. 191). Evaluate this statement given what you know about the well-being of children. In what situations would orphanages or institutions for
  • 20. children be appropriate options and at what ages? How would a country's Department or Ministry of Health apply a Health in All Policies approach to address the economic and social issues presented in this statement?. Q2 Children are foundational to health of communities made up of family units. Understanding the context within which children are living, playing, growing, and developing is necessary as culture influences the definition of health. However, it is easy to focus on the physical needs of children while neglecting the emotional and spiritual needs of children. Provide one example from the Bible of how children were served spiritually or emotionally. Discuss how this example might inform your approach in helping culturally diverse families holistically support their children.
