This course will provide state-of-the-art knowledge and evidence on the interactions between TB and nutrition, discuss technical and operational aspects of nutritional assessment, counselling, and provision of nutritional support, and outline areas of research in this emerging field in TB care and prevention.
This course focuses on the principles and rigorous application of qualitative methods in formative, operational, evaluation, and policy research on infectious diseases in diverse global settings. Teaching includes didactical lectures, dedicated periods for interactive exercises and short topical presentations and/or panel discussions. There will be opportunities to work in small groups and develop and present draft research protocols and related outputs under the mentorship of course faculty.
This course is designed for those working in or entering the field of tuberculosis research and covers both foundational methods and the latest developments in TB diagnosis, treatment, drug resistance, and prevention.
