Overview
This Evaluating Large-Scale Health Programs Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with Johns Hopkins University. This specialization teaches learners how to plan and implement effectiveness evaluations of large-scale health programs.
It focuses on evaluating health programs in low- and middle-income countries, where routine data are less available and reliable and therefore are often not sufficient to support a rigorous evaluation.

- The courses are designed for students and practitioners in public health who work in low- and middle-income countries. The content draws heavily on work conducted by the instructors in the areas of maternal and child health and nutrition, using examples of large-scale evaluations from many countries. Although learners need not be experts in these topic areas, it would be helpful if learners have some basic skills in research design and statistical analysis.
