Teaching

PH 200L: Health and Social Behavior Breadth (2017, 2018, 2019). Required introductory breadth course for 140 MPH students in most program areas (nutrition, maternal and child health, biostatistics, infectious disease, health policy and management, epidemiology, MD-MPH, business-MPH, and policy-MPH). Course focuses on core competency areas in behavioral and social science theories as applied to health promotion and the prevention of disease; the social-ecological model and its relationship to health across the life course; the impact of structural, social, and economic factors on health; and the social-psychological pathways by which these factors influence physical and mental health. I conducted a complete redesign of this course for Fall 2017.

PH219C: Community-Based Participatory Research (2014, 2016, 2018, 2020).

In-depth study of the epistemology, principles, practice, and ethics of community-based participatory research, a model in which communities affected by research serve as co-research partners with “professional” researchers. This course has an intensive practice component that involves collaboration with local organizations. I conducted a major redesign of this course in 2016 after co-teaching it in 2014 with Prof Meredith Minkler, who originally designed this course.

PH255C: Mental Health and Psychopathology (2007; 2010; 2012; 2019). I developed this course to provide an understanding of the complex (and often interactive) individual and environmental conditions that increase the risk of psychopathology in individuals across the life span. The goal is for students to analyze and articulate risk and protective factors for the development of major psychological disorders at different levels of analysis (e.g. intra-individual, family, community) and how this evidence informs the differential development of interventions to prevent specific disorders.

PH 292: Health and Social Behavior Capstone (2014-2016). New course to support students in high-quality completion of comprehensive exam; including review of research design, literature reviews, conceptual presentation, and research ethics.

PH 201F: Theory and Methods of Community Intervention (2003-06; 2009, 2010, 2012). Beginning with the conceptual (and political) underpinnings of approaching communities and settings as the unit of analysis and intervention, this course delves into methodological and practical considerations in conducting community research and intervention in diverse settings. Topics covered include a) linking theory and existing empirical literature to program development and evaluation; b) ethical considerations in research and consultation relationships; c) empowerment and participatory research approaches; and d) promising directions for prevention/promotion research.

PH 203A: Theories of Health and Social Behavior (2005-2009): The purpose of this seminar is to increase the ability of public health professionals to critically analyze theories in ways that strengthen public health practice. Grounded in an ecological perspective on health, the course covers a range of sociological and behavioral theories related to health promotion.

PH 218B: Evaluation of Health and Social Programs (2004, 2010, 2011): This course provides an overview of the concepts and methods of theory-based program evaluation. The focus is on the development of critical skills necessary to assess the quality of evaluation research projects, to apply technical evaluation skills in professional practice, and to develop evaluation plans for a variety of health and social programs. The course is primarily intended for masters’ level students who will be conducting, managing, or interacting with program evaluations in their professional work.

Guest lectures: I average 3-4 guest lectures yearly in undergraduate and graduate courses in the SPH, Psychology Dept, UC Berkeley and UCSF postdoctoral programs, and other universities. My recorded guest lecture on social cognitive theory and its relevance for health promotion and disease prevention is included in the required UCB Online MPH Program course on Health and Social Behavior.

Advising and Mentorship of Students (with focus on promoting diversity):

Graduate advising: In this review period, I advised 5 to 8 students per year in the Health and Social Behavior MPH program (in combination of academic advising and supervision of capstone projects). During this review period, I served on 14 Dissertation and qualifying exam (QE) committees out of the more than 90 thesis committees or QE’s I have served on at Berkeley. These committees include students within the School of Public Health, the Psychology Department, the School of Social Welfare, and the Graduate School of Education.

Undergraduates: I have mentored approximately 80 undergraduate research apprentices, most from under-represented groups and first-generation to college (1 McNair summer scholar, 1 Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP); 1 URAP summer fellowship). I have also mentored 3 high school student interns (Oakland High; Lick-Wilmerding HS). Within this review period, I have mentored 6 undergraduates as part of the URAP and Youth Equity Scholars program I co-developed.
