Implementation Research Case Example - Chagas in Ecuador
TDR
About This Course
Welcome to our implementation research case example focusing on chagas disease and Ecuador. This module offers a comprehensive exploration of the strategies employed to address the challenges posed by Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease prevalent in Latin America. With a specific focus on the southern Ecuador context, this course describes the relationship between public health interventions, socioeconomic factors, and community understanding, all of which are essential for the prevention, treatment, and diagnosis of chagas disease. Through a truly interdisciplinary lens, participants will gain an understanding of the complexities surrounding chagas disease within Ecuador. We will examine the role of community engagement and multidisciplinary strategies for confronting Chagas disease. Participants will develop an understanding of designing, implementing, and evaluating strategies that consider the cultural, economic, and geographical underpinnings of affected communities. Join us in this case example to further develop your knowledge and skills in implementation research!
