Mental health and psychosocial support intervention delivery and uptake at scale: The case of a guided self-help intervention (Self Help Plus)
PhD Student: Jacqueline Ndlovu
Contact Information: [email protected]
The burden of mental disorders continues to grow and exposure to adversity can result in increased vulnerability to develop diverse mental health problems. To address some of the challenges of current evidence-based interventions, scalable mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions have been developed and tested, e.g. Self Help Plus (SH+). SH+ is a low-intensity, guided self-help intervention that provides strategies for managing psychological distress and coping with adversity. The aim of this study is to explore delivery and uptake at scale of MHPSS interventions, identify commonalities and differences across implementing contexts, populations, and organisations, and build an evidence-base for multi-sectoral integration as a pathway to scale SH+ in Uganda.
T o understand how MHPSS interventions to date have been integrated with other heath and non-health programs across different sectors, a systematic review will be conducted. This will provide a background that complements qualitative exploration of facilitators and barriers of SH+ delivery and uptake at scale within three humanitarian partner organisations in Uganda. In addition, a survey-based measure that enables competencies of SH+ facilitators to be defined and that supports capacity building of facilitators within each partner organisation will be developed through a mixed methods approach.
Overall, multi-sectoral integration of SH+ with other health and non-health programs represents opportunities for improving reach of evidence-based interventions that offer positive outcomes.

An ethnographic study of healthcare-associated infections in selected health facilities in Ghana
Ph.D. student: Gifty Sunkwa-Mills
Contact information: [email protected]
Project abstract: Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) persist as a major problem in healthcare systems worldwide. The associated morbidity and mortality are often higher in developing countries. There is a dearth of reliable data on HCAIs in developing countries, and many cases go unrecorded. Strategies to reduce the burden of HCAIs are largely focused on the prevention of transmission through the promotion of standard infection prevention and control(IPC) practices. IPC guidelines are however being utilised with varying degrees of success mainly because of physical, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. Promotion of IPC practices requires an approach that considers personal factors, institutional culture and leadership, and the perceptions of health workers, patients, and caregivers on ’dirt’ and ’cleanliness’.
Ethnographic studies are crucial to identify socio-cultural contexts and priorities associated with HCAIs. This will contribute to raising awareness of HCAIs and increase the focus on patient safety in hospitals.
This study is part of a larger project on HCAIs in Ghana, comprising three phases: a baseline phase to study existing behaviour patterns and intentions; an interventional phase where a multimodal IPC intervention will be implemented; a post interventional phase to assess the impact of the interventions.
The study will examine the perceptions of healthcare workers, patients and caregivers on IPC, hand hygiene and HCAIs and observe compliance and technique of IPC practices among healthcare workers before and after the implementation of a multimodal intervention program. Information from this research will serve as a guide to future interventions to reduce HCAIs.

Double burden of tuberculosis and diabetes in a high prevalence population
PhD student: Huma Aftab
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is due to economic growth, rapidly changing living conditions and lifestyle increasing in developing countries. In many of these countries, tuberculosis (TB) remains highly prevalent. Several studies suggest that patients with DM are more susceptible to TB, require more time to clear the mycobacteria and also more frequently die from the infection. However, time-relation between debut of DM and TB is less clear, and it is largely unknown if better control of DM may improve outcome of TB treatment, and vice versa.
Study design: A hospital based study in Pakistan. Patients with TB and previously known or newly diagnosed DM will be randomized into two treatment groups: conventional or insulin treatment. To our knowledge this is the first study evaluating the reversibility of DM in TB and effect of DM treatment on TB outcomes and vice versa.

An investigation into the role of alcohol in self-harm in rural Sri Lanka
PhD student: Jane Brandt Sørensen
Department: Global Health Section, IFSV, SUND
Project abstract: Sri Lanka has one of the highest suicide and self-harm rates in the world and although alcohol has been found to be a risk factor for self-harm in Sri Lanka, we know little about the connection between
the two. This qualitative study explores alcohol consumption and self-harm in (i) families where self-harm occurred; (ii) at the community level, investigating perceptions of alcohol use, alcohol traditions, and how alcohol is understood to be connected to self-harm; and (iii) at a broader social level, investigating the environment in which the alcohol consumption and self-harm takes place. The research includes a year of field work in the Anuradhapura area in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka.

Inferences on the mechanism of V. cholerae transmission in outbreak settings using mathematical models and historic empirical data
PhD student: Matthew David Phelps
Project abstract: Cholera remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In 2015 the WHO reported 172,454 cholera cases, but this is likely an underestimate with estimates of the global burden reaching 2 - 3 million. Despite the scope of the problem, important aspects of the disease dynamics that are needed to parameterize the models, such as the duration of the serial interval, duration of immunity, and the importance of human-to-human (short cycles) versus environmental transmission (long cycles) remain unresolved or contain a large amount of uncertainty. Mathematical modeling of the spread and health impact of cholera is used to provide key information for policy makers and intervention planners about the projected impact of interventions, such as vaccinations, but these models require parameterization using scarce empirical data.
To address these limitations I am using highly detailed epidemiological data from a 1853 cholera outbreak in Copenhagen to make inferences about the mechanism of transmission that would not be possible with currently available outbreak data from contemporary settings. The project is composed of three subsections that investigate transmission at both regional scales (sub-project 1 & 3) and neighborhood scales (sub-project 2):
An epidemiological description of cholera outbreaks in 19 th century Denmark
An investigation of the role of waterborne transmission in Copenhagen 1853 using a time-series SIR model
Spatio-temporal analysis of the regional spread of cholera in Denmark 1853 and comparison to Ebola
The results of these analyses can be used to implement more efficient methods of cholera control and prevention in outbreak situations.

Challenging Predictability

Abstract: Perceptions of risk and attempts of prediction are closely interlinked, especially in emergency and disaster planning and response. But can risk be defined as simple as probability x consequence? And what is prediction other than the attempt to align expectations with future experiences?
This research project aims at mapping current perceptions of risk and attempts of prediction within emergency planning and management as well as challenging these through a discussion based on complexity theory and, finally, developing a set of tools for disseminating a novel mindset among emergency planners and practitioners.
The project is divided into three phases: Phase One delineates the current and formulates a new complex paradigm through a desk study. Phase Two investigates manifestations of complexity in emergency management case studies. Phase Three seeks to develop tools for organizational implementation of the new complex paradigm.
The overall goal is to strengthen the abilities of emergency and disaster managers to analyze, manage and act in unpredictable settings. It is hypothesized that the thinking of many actors within the emergency and disaster management professions are governed by a linear, mechanistic mindset based on the philosophical heritage of the Age of Enlightenment. This research project proposes that an alternative mindset anchored in non-linear, complex ontologies may benefit professionals planning for, managing and acting in emergency and disaster settings.

Living with a family member with type 2 diabetes - Translating diabetes evidence into public health recommendations for interventions
PhD student: Jannie Nielsen
Abstract: The aim of this PhD project is to study the family as an entity for management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in diagnosed individuals and for prevention of T2D in their healthy family members.
Through the combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches this PhD project will provide new knowledge about motives and barriers for management and prevention of T2D in a family setting in a low-income country like Uganda. In Uganda the prevalence of T2D ranges from 0.4 % to 8.1 % and the number is expected to increase. Both genetics and lifestyle factors play an important factor in the development of T2D and changes in nutrition and physical activity can prevent T2D and optimise care for already individuals who already suffer from T2D. The Ugandan health system is already struggling with the burden of infectious diseases and people with T2D are facing a pronounced lack of treatment. Therefore, knowledge of self-management and prevention of T2D is required. The qualitative part will explore the underlying perceptions, attitudes and beliefs that form daily life and thereby health related practices. The quantitative data will provide quantifiable epidemiological measures of health, T2D and associated risk factors. The study will be carried out in Kasese district in the south-western part of Uganda.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Tamil Nadu, India
PhD student: Karoline Beate Kragelund Nielsen
Status: Completed (01/10/2012-30/09/2015)
Abstract: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy, and it greatly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future for both the woman and her infant, “diabetes begets diabetes” and GDM may therefore be fuelling the global diabetes epidemic.
In addition to the increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, women with GDM are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as maternal- and perinatal mortality, obstructed labour and macrosomia, is elevated compared to the risk in non-GDM affected pregnancies.
India has become known as the ‘diabetes capital of the world’ and the prevalence is expected to further increase. In the South-Indian state of Tamil Nadu Prof. Seshiah et al have – with financial support from the World Diabetes Foundation– carried out studies showing a GDM prevalence of 9.9% among pregnant women in rural areas of the state and 17.8% among pregnant women in urban areas. Consequently, the Government of Tamil Nadu made screening and treatment for GDM part of routine antenatal care services.
The overall goal of this PhD is to explore how GDM screening and care can be implemented or improved in a low resource setting to improve prevention of diabetes and adverse pregnancy outcomes. In particular the PhD project will seek to answer the essential questions in relation to GDM: why do some women develop GDM, when should pregnant women be tested, and what is currently hindering detection, treatment and postpartum follow-up.
To answer this, the PhD will focus on key determinants and risk factors for developing GDM; and optimal timing of screening women for GDM, as well as main barriers for pregnant women to access screening and care services for GDM and postpartum follow up.
The ultimate aim is to identify a pragmatic approach that is feasible to implement in low resource settings in the sense that the recommended approach should be the best in the context and under the usual conditions in which it will be applied and will not necessarily be the approach that would be recommended in a setting with ideal circumstances.

Health aspects of return migration – characteristics, motives and access to health care.
PhD student: Line Neerup Handlos
Period: 1 July 2013 - 30 September 2016
Department and Faculty: Danish Research Centre for Migration, Ethnicity and Health, Department of Public Health, SUND
Abstract: The current large influx of migrants into Europe has increased the focus on voluntary return of migrants. In order to understand the phenomenon of return migration better and to inform the interventions and strategies that may be implemented to encourage migrants to return, this thesis has explored aspects of how health and return migration interact.
Mixed methods and a multi-sited design were used. Hence, a prospective register-based cohort study and 28 semi-structured interviews with elderly, chronically ill Bosnian migrants were conducted.
My findings show that the tendency to return-migrate increased with age, and return migrants were generally less ill than non-returnees. As a consequence of corruption acting as a barrier to access to health care, it was expected that returnees were not prioritizing their health as a factor for returning. However, despite being fully aware of the resulting deterioration in the status of their disease their return would bring about, the elderly and chronically ill did in fact prioritize their health when they returned. Thus, returning increased their physical, social and mental wellbeing, as it among other things brought them close to their children, friends and other family members and made them fulfil their sense of belonging.

Effectiveness and efficacy of specific control and prevention measures for pig disease with emphasis on taenia solium/ cysticercosis (tsc), other parasitic diseases and african swine fever.
PhD student: Abel Gonçalo Chilundoana
Status: May 2014 – December 2017
Project abstract: In Mozambique smallholder pig production systems are generally severely constrained by poor management and pig diseases such as Taenia solium cysticercosis and African swine fever, as well as gastrointestinal helminths and ectoparasites. As a consequence pig performance; health and welfare are often compromised just as public health is threatened due to TSC affected pork.
Despite the constraints, there are opportunities to develop sustainable pig farming systems at smallholder level. Within all constraints emerged the initiative called “Securing rural Livelihoods improved smallholder pig production in Mozambique and Tanzania (SLIPP)” with the many goals to reduce the poverty among pig smallholder. Farmers’ education was identified as a valuable strategy to improve smallholder pig farmers. The contribution of the thesis lies in assessing the effects of providing technical education to farmers on the performance of their livestock. Thus, three specific objectives were pursued in this study; (i) determination of the prevalence and risk factors of endo- and ectoparasitic infections in smallholder pig, (ii) to assess the effect of pig farming education on smallholder farmer’s knowledge and practices regarding pig welfare and production and (iii) to assess the effectiveness of a combined intervention (health education and treatment of pigs with oxfendazole) on pig diseases

Zoonotic parasites in Danish fish populations
PhD student: Foojan Mehrdanaa
Status: September 2015 - August 2018
Project abstract: Anisakid parasites, including nematodes from the genera Anisakis, Pseudoterranova, and Contracaecum, represent both economical and public health challenges due to potential infection risks and consumer attitudes. The consumption of raw or undercooked fish products containing larvae of these parasites may cause anisakidosis often associated with gastrointestinal symptoms. These parasites may also cause hypersensitivity reactions or allergies in sensitized consumers due to their released antigens, which may even cross-react with other allergens. The occurrence of zoonotic anisakids, in particular Contracaecum spp., has increased drastically in the Baltic cod stock during the latest years which could be attributed to the increased population of grey seals (Halichoerus grypus), the final hosts of these worms, in the same period and in the same area. Unlike Anisakis spp., the antigens and potential allergens of Contracaecum spp. are not described. Therefore, this study aims to characterize the antigens from excretory/secretory (E/S) products of Contracaecum third stage larvae, collected from cod liver caught in Southern Baltic Sea, and evaluate immunoregulatory properties of these proteins

The effectiveness of an integrated intervention strategy for Taenia solium taeniosis/cysticercosis
PhD student : Uffe Christian Braae
Department and Faculty: Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, SUND
Supervisors: Maria Vang Johansen and Pascal Magnussen
Abstract: The aim is to assess the effectiveness of an integrated intervention strategy for Taenia solium taeniosis/cysticercosis in Tanzania. Transmitted between humans and pigs, the zoonotic tapeworm infection has emerged as a serious public health and agricultural problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Humans infected with the tapeworm (taeniosis) shed eggs in the faeces and pigs become infected with the larval stage when ingesting these eggs (porcine cysticercosis).
Mass drug administration (MDA) control programmes with praziquantel against schistosomiasis are in place in schistosomiasis endemic areas of Mbeya Region, Tanzania. Praziquantel is also effective against taeniosis. Therefore the possibility exist for an integrate approach measuring the effect on taeniosis. The international strategic project: ‘Integrated control of taeniosis/cysticercosis in sub-Saharan Africa (ICTC)’ was in 2012 initiated in Mbeya Region and aims to assess the effect of the MDA on taeniosis and porcine cysticercosis. Monitoring pilot intervention programmes in Africa is crucial to determine the impact and cost-effectiveness.
This project will provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the schistosomiasis intervention programme on taeniosis/porcine cysticercosis implemented in an endemic area of Tanzania. Data collection will be carried out as repeated cross-sectional surveys in 22 villages from two districts of Mbeya Region, an intervention area and an adjacent control area. Porcine cysticercosis prevalence will be measures based on antigen ELISA on serum. Human faecal samples will be analysed using copro-antigen ELISA to determine taeniosis prevalence. The cost-effectiveness of the intervention will be estimated by the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio.
Data obtained will be used to validate and expand the existing theoretical transmission model for T. solium, making it more accurate and give a better theoretical determination of the future consequence of the MDA. The project should provide evidence-based data for control of T. solium as an integrated approach and provide support for policy change and implementation of the integrated approach in other co-endemic areas.

Predictive value of the appetite test and an assessment of aetiology and resistance in infections in severely malnourished children.
PhD student: Mike Zangenberg
Status: 1 January 2015 - 23 November 2018
Department: Department of Immunology and Microbiology (ISIM).
Abstract: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is caused by lack of essential nutrients and energy. It affects millions of children in low- and middle-income countries and is a major cause of childhood mortality. In Ethiopia a significant number of children still suffer from SAM and it continues to contribute to deaths among children.
In children with SAM, infections may increase the risk of dying and an assessment of a child's appetite is currently used to determine the need for hospitalization and to decide what treatment the child need. However, the validity of specific assessments and simple tests, such as a test of the appetite, to identify children at greatest risk of death is uncertain.
This study will provide evidence of the potential value of the appetite test and other algorithms to identify children with SAM and severe infections to improve the diagnosis and treatment of complications. The study will determine the type of bacteria and their resistance patterns in order to target future antibiotic treatment and lastly, the study will assess the microbiological cause and describe the course of diarrhoea and dehydration in children with SAM to assess the most effective treatment.

A surveillance system for p. falciparum malaria: exploring the potential of malaria rapid diagnostic tests and next generation sequencing.
PhD student: Sidsel Nag
Status: Ongoing (01.01.2014 - 31.12.16)
Abstract: Successful disease control requires successful disease surveillance. In this regard, we propose an application of malaria rapid diagnostics tests (RDTs) provided for sub-Saharan Africa in numbers larger than 70 million in 2011 alone, for surveillance of molecular epidemiology of P. falciparum malaria.
We are attempting to setup regular RDT-collection in collaboration with local health centers in Tanzania and Guinea-Bissau.
We wish to investigate whether used RDTs can be applied for PCR-based methods to detect the presence of antimalarial resistance markers represented by single-nucleotide polymorphisms in P. falciparum genes. Regular high-throughput analysis of the prevalence of these resistance markers would provide evidence for a basis for molecular surveillance of resistance to antimalarial drugs. Furthermore, we wish to investigate to which extent used RDTs collected at local health centers can be applied for serological analysis, and lastly whether it is feasible to acquire DNA suitable for whole genome sequencing (WGS).
WGS is a major player in pathogen surveillance, applied for the purpose of keeping up to date with the spread of different genotypes and identification of evolutionary events with potential effect on pathogenesis or treatment. We wish to investigate the differences in intra-regional and inter-regional parasite diversity in Tanzania and Guinea-Bissau, as well as differences in putative selection of parasites due to differences in transmission intensity and fluctuations. Elucidating these differences is key to providing policy guidance of containment of e.g. artemisinin resistant parasites and focusing surveillance in high risk-areas.

Identifying parasite proteins responsible for severe malaria infections
PhD student: Jakob Schmidt Jespersen
Status: Completed (1 February 2013 - 1 February 2016)
Abstract: I’m studying the lethal malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and specifically its ‘var’ virulence genes which have been linked to disease severity.
The var genes encode large multi-domain hyper-variable proteins called Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein 1 (PfEMP1), of which each parasite has ~60 and which enables it to adhere to the inside of blood vessels, thereby avoiding destruction in the spleen.
The study aims at identifying coding elements associated with disease severity, as well as elucidating the nature of known elements such as domain cassettes 8 and 13. Of special focus are the PfEMP1 domains which enable the parasite to adhere to Endothelial Protein C Receptor (EPCR), a recently identified interaction shown to be associated with severe malaria.
The study relies on bioinformatics, transcriptional analysis of field samples, recombinant protein production and parasite binding assays.

New insights to pathogenesis of severe malaria

Department and faculty: Department of Immunology and Microbiology, Centre for Medical Parasitology, SUND
- Thor Grundtvig Theander (CMP)
Abstract: Severe malaria syndromes, causing an estimated annual 1 million deaths, are precipitated by P. falciparum parasites that bind to endothelial receptors on the vascular lining. The binding is mediated by the highly variant P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) adhesion antigen family.
Severe malaria in children is linked to expression of a subset of PfEMP1s. We recently identified this subset of PfEMP1s along with their interaction partner, endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), a hitherto unknown ligand for the severe malaria PfEMP1 variants.
The EPCR::APC interaction is implicated in pathways awry in severe malaria, as PfEMP1blocks EPCRs interaction with activated protein C. The discovery opens for unraveling the pathogenesis of severe malaria and new avenues for development of malaria vaccines and adjunct therapies.
I work on elucidating the link between PfEMP1::ECPR interaction and pathogenesis of severe malaria in children by establishing association between severe clinical manifestations of malaria patients and EPCR binding phenotype of their infecting parasites.
Additionally, I am studying signal transduction aberrations in endothelium caused by interactions with the malaria parasite, and their impact on enhanced parasite sequestration, and endothelium barrier integrity.

Intensified data sourcing in pakistan.
PhD student: Zainab Afshan Sheikh
Department and Faculty: Department of Public Health, Section for Health Services Research, Centre for Medical Science and Technology Studies
Project abstract: This PhD project is about the making of a research infrastructure for human genetics based on samples collected among Pakistani families with genetic diseases. Efforts to collect human biological tissue and clinical data on families with autosomal recessive disorders in Pakistan feed in to international attempts to get more data, of better quality, on more people in order to understand the general functions of the genome. At the same time these efforts interact with the desperate lives of many donor families and local interpretations of, and practices surrounding, genetic research, disease and treatment. My study will include both these dimensions, based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted at a genetic research institute in Pakistan. I will do participatory observation following samples from the collection points in different villages to its different uses, among other at a Danish laboratory. I will also conduct interviews with families donating their tissue and clinical data, the genetic researchers and the policymakers who create the regulatory framework for the research along with analyzing policies surrounding it.

Exportation of intellectual property from the health sector in denmark to china.
PhD student: Signe Lindgård Andersen
Abstract: Many nations now recognize the emergence of a new knowledge-based economy. Also in Denmark, there is an increasing focus upon knowledge and technology embedded in services and manufactured products as keys to growth and job creation. This anthropological research project will shed light on how the knowledge economy works at a micro-level exploring the exportation of intellectual property from the health sector in Denmark to China. The Danish evidence-based concept of Fast Track Surgery (FTS) serves as an example of this. Through an ethnographic study of how such a concept travels, this PhD.-project will examine the processes and social dynamics related to the transfer of the FTS concept in a global encounter between Danish and Chinese health care providers.
The project integrates medical anthropology, regional ethnography on China and theoretical perspectives on knowledge transfer, technology and globalization/localization.
The project is financed by the Capital Region of Denmark, Laurits Andersen's Foundation and the Clinical Research Centre at Amager and Hvidovre Hospital.

Fractured by Categories. Exploring Disability and Ethnicity in the Danish Welfare State
PhD student: Thomas Scott Hughes.
Summary: This dissertation presents and analyzes a particular case study of human experience - life as an ethnic other with physical disability in Denmark. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with ethnic minorities and refugees with physical disabilities in Denmark, this dissertation addresses the particular life conditions, strategies, and corresponding subjectivities of individuals and families facing multiple dimensions of social exclusion. Phenomenological approaches developed in medical anthropology are employed to allow a vantage point through these subjectivities to macro-structural political mechanisms, which frame these social dilemmas and processes. This investigation of life as an ethnic minority/migrant/refugee (or otherwise ethnic “other”) with disability in the Danish welfare state presents a poignant anthropological case study of a particular form of intersectional marginality: What does it mean to be a “multi-minority” in present-day Denmark? How do these agents navigate this social and psychological maze of marginalization? What modes of living and subjectivities are produced in these specific social conditions? This particular intersection provides a look into the mechanics of the social human’s fundamentally multiple nature - we are many things, but in this intersection involving disability and minority ethnicities certain selves are often socially problematic. Furthermore, looking at the lived experience of my interlocutors through the three lenses of “marginalization,” intersectionality, and categorization is useful in that it both connects the material to larger global trends/universal social dynamics, as well as allowing for an analysis that can account for the extreme variety of socio-cultural profiles and somatic conditions that are contained in the category 'ethnic minorities with disability'.

Public Health and Epidemiology - PhD Graduate Programme
The Graduate programme in Public Health and Epidemiology (PHE) covers a comprehensive area consisting of population-based epidemiology, clinical epidemiology, social medicine, environmental medicine, industrial medicine, research in prevention and health promotion, and health services research.
The areas carry a great deal of overlap and are central to our understanding of the occurrence and causes of diseases (both the surrounding environment and the individual factors), understanding of patient courses, the health services’ organisation and the effect of different strategies of prevention and health promotion. The many disciplines within the PHE programme have a common methodological basis in epidemiology and in biostatistics. PHE also attracts researchers from several clinical and theoretical institutes, as the research may comprise patient cohorts, genes, biomarkers and physiological processes in the search of causes for development of especially chronic diseases. Public health research makes up a substantial part of the translational research. PHE performs series of PhD courses within epidemiology and public health and often works together with the Graduate programme in Biostatistics and Bioinformatics . The courses do not only apply to members of PHE, but also to a large number of other PhD students.
PHE is anchored in the Department of Public Health at University of Copenhagen. PHE is part of the national network of Graduate programmes in public health ( GRASPH ) comprising Aalborg University, Aarhus University, University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen. The main purpose of the network is to organize a summer school.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
There are 3 steps in the selection process
1. Candidates choose and are chosen by a host laboratory.
From mid-September, a list of host laboratories and the research projects they propose are posted on the application website after registration: https://ppu.pasteur.fr (the link is proposed also in the Current Call section of this web site).
Applications must be sent through the same link: the candidates can select up to four projects they are interested in, and upload a detailed CV and a motivation letter in PDF format.
Advisors may request additional information from candidates including reference letters and may interview some candidates by visio-conference. Each advisor must eventually choose only one candidate for his/her project to present to the Admission Committee.
Candidates may contact potential host laboratories for further information but application must be made through the application website (no email application) . Since each advisor must choose only one candidate, candidates may apply to more than one laboratory (maximum four). Advisors are asked to notify candidates who will not be selected as soon as possible. A candidate cannot be selected for more than one project.
The candidate selected for a project will then complete the application on the same platform together with the host laboratory (joint application). Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores are welcome but not required.
2. Evaluation of joint applications by the Admission Committee.
The joint applications are evaluated in December on the basis of academic qualifications, previous research experience, scientific potential of the candidate and adequation of the candidate with the proposed project. In general, applicants are expected to be among the top of those qualified to enter a Ph.D. program in their home country.
The Admission Committee is composed of Institut Pasteur scientists, representatives of the Doctoral Schools (who verify that the applicant is eligible to register for a Ph.D. at a Parisian University) and members of the PPU Program Office (who are themselves also Institut Pasteur scientists). The Admissions Committee solicits written evaluations of the applications from international senior scientists who are familiar with the applicant’s national education systems. The most promising candidates are selected for an interview.
3. Interview week.
Selected candidates are invited for a four-day visit to the Institut Pasteur during February. Travel expenses (economy fare) and housing during the interview week are paid by the PPU program. During the visit, candidates:
- Visit the host laboratory and meet its members;
- Visit the Institut Pasteur (technical core facilities, museum, scientific library, …);
- Meet the Dean of the PPU program, the Director of Education of the Institut Pasteur, members of the PPU Program Office, current students and other scientists working at the Institut Pasteur;
- Are interviewed by Institut Pasteur scientists who are experts in the candidate’s past and/or future research projects and by a member of the Human Resources Department.
- Present their Master’s degree research (results or in progress) and their Ph.D. project to the Admission Committee which then asks questions;
- Meet at luncheons and dinners with students and scientists.
The Admission Committee examines the general scientific knowledge, the past research accomplishments, the understanding of the proposed Ph.D. project, the motivation of the student, and considers the comments and advice of other interviewers. It then chooses the students to be offered final admission and those to be put on a waiting list. Around 12 openings are available each year. Candidates are informed of the decision shortly after the Interview week; successful candidates are generally given 10 days to notify the PPU of their acceptance. Admission is highly competitive; each year many more qualified candidates apply than can be accepted.
Criteria used by the Admission Committee for the evaluation:
- Presentation: Logical and coherent presentation; appropriate information; clear oral presentation without “reading the slides”; good balance master/future phd projects.
- Addressing the questions: comprehension of the questions, focus on the requested details, scientific knowledge, technical knowledge, ability to think about an open question.

- Oral presentation workshop : To teach how to communicate their results and ideas effectively (identifying the key message, planning and preparation, presentation design, confident delivery and stress management, giving/receiving feedback). During the II° year: four classes lasting 4 hours each.
- Journal Club : To enhance the educational experience of participants and the assimilation of scientific evidences (learning how to critically evaluate a study, reflecting upon results and draw conclusions, understanding peer review, identifying innovation and advancement, learning how to conceptualize follow-up. (Journal Club) During the I° year: 1 session per month.
- Scientific Integrity and Ethics Training courses : To learn about and discuss various ethical aspects of being a scientist (learning ethical standards in research & science and the role of a scientist in today’s society, knowing the available resources at the Institut Pasteur in case problems arise). During the I° year: One half day on scientific integrity, one mini-workshop with three presentations (half day) + three group discussion sessions of one hour each.
- French language courses : 3 class levels (basic, intermediate and advanced) . During the I° year: two-hour sessions per week, on campus.
- To learn how to organize a symposium, students of the II° year are in charge of the organization of the annual retreat for all PPU students, under the guidance of the PPU Graduate Office members.
- Institut Pasteur international network workshop : to be informed about the main missions of the Institut Pasteur and facilitate the creation of student personal network. During the III° year: half a day.
Various other training sessions are available at the Institut Pasteur, the Universities in Paris, and the Institut Curie.
THESIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
A thesis advisory committee (TAC) follows the student's research progress, offering guidance as needed in addition to that provided by the laboratory in which the student is working.
The PPU program staff is fully committed to building a strong network within each incoming class of students, and between all students in the program as a whole as well as with students and scientists of the campus. For that purpose, several informal meetings are organized to give the students a chance to discuss with the members of the PPU Program Committee and PPU office on individual questions and challenges or unforeseen difficulties encountered.
ANNUAL RETREAT
The students of the 2nd year are responsible for the organization of the PPU annual retreat, in collaboration with members of the graduate office. The retreat lasts three days and takes place at a rotating location outside of Paris (in very nice settings). The Ph.D. advisors and faculty members are invited and students are encouraged to invite a few scientists who are experts on the topic of the chosen theme of the year to present keynote lectures.
One presentation is dedicated to the scientist who gave his/her name to the 1st year class. In addition, all students are expected to present their projects and/or their results, making this retreat a truly interdisciplinary symposium. Furthermore, students discuss their research progress with scientists both from within and outside of the Institut Pasteur. The goal is also to reinforce the networking among students and with other scientists.

BUA-Joint Degree
The Master’s program in Public Health (MScPH) at the Berlin School of Public Health, a joint institution of the Alice Salomon University, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Technical University of Berlin, was classified as a BUA-Joint Degree in September 2021. This classification is given to research-oriented cooperative programs at Berlin University Alliance partner institutions that are dedicated to topics of global importance and have a pronounced interdisciplinary and international profile.
The Berlin University Alliance is an alliance between Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research ( BMBF ) and the State of Berlin as part of the federal and state government's excellence strategy.
Conceptual Framework and MScPH Program Structure
The MScPH is designed as a full-time course of study. There is coursework daily requiring an average of 20 attendance hours per week. In addition, students are expected to spend around 20 hours preparing for classes each week, which results in a student workload (Student Investment Time, SIT) of around 40 hours per week. In order to create equal opportunities for students with children, required courses are scheduled between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Each semester has 15 weeks of coursework and lectures followed by a lecture-free period in which exams and homework are completed.
During the program, a total of 17 modules must be completed. Most of the modules are 6 ECTS in length. Two introductory (basic) modules serve to establish a balance of knowledge between the disciplines of origin of the students. The two core modules serve to help students identify with the field of public health, to raise ethical awareness for overarching public health issues and to present current challenges in public health. The eight advanced modules serve to deepen and expand scientific competencies in the areas of research methods, health determinants, health system research and management as well as health promotion and prevention. Three elective modules provide students with the opportunity for individual specialization. Courses can be selected freely from the other universities in Berlin, Germany or internationally, as long as there is a connection to public health. The master's thesis (24 ECTS) and the accompanying colloquium (6 ECTS) conclude the program.
Students who are unable to complete the program in full time (e.g. due to family, employment or relatives in need of care) can apply for part-time study. The application must be submitted before the start of the semester. If you study part-time, the course is extended to 8 semesters. Students register their desired modules of 12 or 18 ECTS each semester at the examination office.
1st Semester: Schedule und modules
In the first semester, the identification with the subject area, an ethical sensitization for overriding public health issues and a presentation of current challenges of public health are achieved via the first core module. In addition, the module HPP 1 - Prevention and Health Promotion and MET 1 - Population Public Health Research and Epidemiological Research Methods are mandatory. The study structure endeavours to establish a balance of knowledge between the disciplines of origin of the students via the basic modules in the first semester. The basic modules reflect the subject areas that had to be proven in the application. Students attend basic modules in the two subjects that they did not present in their application.
Mandatory modules:
- Core module 1 - Burden of Disease and Public Health Action
- MET 1 - Population Public Health Research and Epidemiological Research Methods (in English)
- HPP 1 - Health Promotion and Disease Prevention - interdisciplinary challenges
Two out of four basic modules:
- Introductory module 1 - Introduction to Public Health Biology
- Introductory module 2 - Introduction to Epidemiology and Biostatistics
- Introductory module 3 - Introduction to Policy, Economics and the German Health Care System
- Introductory module 4 - Introduction to Sociology of Health and Illness Qualitative Research Methods
2nd Semester: Schedule and modules
The second semester is particularly challenging due to the five focus modules to be taken and serves to deepen and expand scientific competencies. The compulsory modules are PHD 1 - Health and Society, HPE 1 - Health Systems and MET 2 - Epidemiology and Public Health Research Methods. In addition, students must choose two further modules. In the area of health determinants, either PHD 2a - Environmental Health or PHD 2b - Infectious Diseases Surveillance are available. In the second elective module, students can choose between HPP 2a - Health promotion and HPP 2b - Prevention.
- PHD 1 - Health and Society
- HPE 1 - Health Systems: Stakeholders, Functions and Goals (in English)
- MET 2 - Methods of Epidemiology and Statistics in Population Health Research Methods (in English)
- PHD 2a - Environmental Health or PHD2b - Infectious Diseases Surveillance (in English)
- HPP 2a - Health Promotion or HPP2b - Prevention
3rd Semester: Schedule and modules
In the third semester, the focus is on preparing the Master's thesis. The Core 2 module gives students the opportunity to discuss research topics for the Master's thesis. The lectures are held by actors in the health care system and are intended to present current challenges in public health. In the accompanying seminars, students develop exemplary research projects (including study design, data basis and evaluation method). The research projects developed can be further implemented in the master thesis.
In addition, a final compulsory elective module from the MScPH must be completed. Either HPE 2b - Health Economics / Health Technology Assessment or HPE 2a - Management of Health Organisations and Health Systems must be chosen from the modules in the area of Health Economics and Health Policy for which the TU is responsible.
The remaining 18 ECTS of the semester can be completed freely via in-depth modules. This serves the individual specialisation and the development of own interests. A total of 18 ECTS modules can be freely chosen from the interdisciplinary elective range of other universities in Berlin, Germany or abroad, provided they are related to Public Health. Furthermore, an internship or a relevant student collaboration can be claimed for up to 6 ECTS credits.
- Core module 2 - Addressing Public Health Challenges of the 21st century
Electives TU Berlin:
- HPE 2b - Health Economics / Health Technology Assessment or HPE 2a - Management of Health Organisations and Health Systems
Electives ASH:
- ASHV MET - Diversity-sensitive care and research-based learning
- ASHV HPP3 - Quality development for complex interventions in health promotion and prevention
The mobility window for a stay abroad is also planned for the 3rd semester. A stay abroad within the framework of your studies expands your horizon of experience and offers exciting opportunities for acquiring specialist, cultural and linguistic skills. The stay abroad via Erasmus offers a supervised and financed study exchange in a European context. The Erasmus Office of the Charité coordinates the applications for the Erasmus exchange (https://erasmus.charite.de). The application deadline is 30 November for a stay in the following year. Independently of Erasmus, stays abroad can also take place outside Europe and through other sources of funding. These must be organised and financed independently by students, as there is no advice and support available.
4th Semester: Schedule and modules
The fourth semester is devoted to the Master's thesis. In the Master's thesis, students demonstrate that they can work on a clearly defined topic or problem on public health-relevant questions independently and scientifically within the specified period of 6 months. Students are encouraged to publish their Master's theses - provided they are of the appropriate quality. In principle, the Master's thesis is conceived as an empirical research project in the form of a monograph. A research question is derived from the presentation of the state of research, a suitable study design or methodological approach is identified, data is analysed, results are presented and discussed in the scientific context. The colloquium accompanies the Master's thesis.
Mandatory module:
Colloquium - Colloquium for the Master Thesis
Career perspectives
A Master's degree in Public Health serves to deepen knowledge and to specialise for a career in the health care sector:
- BSPH graduates can opt for a research-oriented orientation and are equipped for a science-related activity.
- Students can also study in a more application-oriented manner, which enables them to work in a wide range of areas such as health administration and health policy, planning and management of and in health care institutions, supporting organisations and associations in the health and social sector.

Online PhD in International Public Health
Program type, school / institute.
Online (Asynchonous)
USD 145 per credit hour
Scholarships
Full (officials of PS); 15% off (ECOWAS and IGOs)
EUCLID, an intergovernmental treaty-based institution with a university mandate, offers to select students from the general public an online PhD in international public health with a focus on Global South issues .
It is, to date, the only PhD program in this field offered by an international intergovernmental organization. Its purpose is to prepare highly qualified public health professionals able to serve in civil service, international organizations , health care institutions, as well as non-governmental organizations globally.
Prof Dr Ernst von Schwarz, one of the world’s most published cardiologists, is also also a member of our distinguished faculty group.
Academic Presentation of the Program
Public Health is often studied from a national-central perspective. Few programs are truly international in scope so as to fully prepare graduates for global civil service careers that will engage a wide variety of global health challenges, including malaria, HIV, drug-resistance, diet-related diseases, etc.
To answer this challenge, EUCLID has designed a world-class doctoral curriculum, which is presented here with full documentation of syllabus and faculty resources, as well as total tuition. This documentation will enable potential students to determine if this program is suitable and aligned with their career objectives.
AUDIENCE | INTEREST GROUPS
This unique PhD program focuses on the practical and policy aspects of global public health rather than the advancement of purely theoretical knowledge.
The DIPH was primarily designed to serve civil servants of EUCLID’s Participating States, but it is also open to the general public as an excellent route to pursue a career within inter-governmental bodies, NGOs and the public sector.
Thanks to its low tuition and institutional relationships, and because it covers such topics as malaria and tropical diseases in-depth, it is expected to be of special interest to Global South/African students.

Europe Public Health
This program aims to give students a chance to study and learn from public health systems in a variety of European settings. While students will visit London, Amsterdam, Paris, Copenhagen, and Geneva as part of the study abroad, we anticipate the bulk of the experience will take place in Netherlands, France, Denmark, and Norway. Students will be immersed in the local culture as they conduct interviews with local residents and through direct observation of environments, health behaviors, and lifestyles. Students will experience the impact of social and built environments (culture) on their own behaviors and learn to identify how differences between American values and lifestyle related to health differ from those in various field locations. Students will observe how public health programs and policies in Europe contribute to the overall health of populations. They will learn innovative approaches to tackling public health challenges such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. Students will participate in active learning exercises and will have many opportunities to be physically active in the local environments with both planned and opportunistic excursions. This study abroad will be most appealing to students that are passionate about health, enjoy leading an active lifestyle (or want to begin doing so), and desire to experience diverse European cultures and their impact on health. Lastly, students will observe and explore the role of faith in healthy lifestyle choices.
