Clear, concise, engaging writing is critically important to public health practice. The Covid-19 pandemic has repeatedly thrown this fact into stark relief. No matter how hard we try, with the best intentions and evidence, public health professionals and researchers have struggled to communicate clear messages to the many audiences looking for information. The result has often been resistance, miscommunication, and deepening political division. Teaching Public Health Writing is a call to action for schools and programs of public health. Jennifer Beard, drawing on her interdisciplinary background in population health and the humanities, argues that writing practice and mentoring need to be central components of the graduate and undergraduate public health curriculum. Public health students are learning to translate complex technical content from a wide array of disciplines into engaging documents for vastly different audiences. This learning experience can be time-consuming and anxiety-inducing. Teaching Public Health Writing--the first book in the new Teaching Public Health instructor series--prompts educators at every level to rethink the place of writing in public health education. Using composition and public health theory, narrative examples, and detailed instructions from writing assignments used in public health classrooms across many disciplines and genres, Teaching Public Health Writing offers instructors a helpful guide to refresh or redesign in-course writing instruction and assignments. It ensures the next generation of public health professionals have the tools they need to communicate confidently and effectively.

Qualitative methods are increasingly seen as key to addressing critical public health problems. How should instructors introduce qualitative methods to public health students and prepare them to conduct and critically engage in a meaningful way? Teaching public health students about qualitative research is more than just training students to run a focus group or explaining how to know how many in-depth interviews are "enough". It starts with helping students understand the power of qualitative methods and why they can be useful in population health.Designed as a resource for instructors teaching qualitative methods courses and classes for public health audiences, Teaching Qualitative Research in Public Health offers practical, creative ideas for designing both introductory and advanced courses and addressing the diverse learning goals of public health students inside and outside of the formal classroom. Written by experienced educators and qualitative researchers, this book discusses ways in which faculty can assist students in exploring different qualitative methods, how they should be undertaken, and how findings from qualitative studies can be analyzed and disseminated to inform public health programs and policies. This teaching companion offers numerous adaptable strategies, classroom-tested activities, and expert guidance to help instructors tailor their courses to diverse learning objectives and educational environments. With a focus on experiential learning, it equips educators to prepare the next generation of public health professionals with a strong foundation in qualitative research. Whether you're teaching a semester-long course, leading short-term training, or mentoring students in applied research, this book provides the tools needed to foster deep engagement and critical thinking in qualitative public health research.
