hybrid
1. Introduction to the issue of vulnerability in health
- definitions, concepts, types of vulnerable populations
- health inequalities and social determinants of health
- access to health care
2. Research methodology with vulnerable populations
- culturally sensitive and participatory research
- ethical aspects of research
- adaptation of tools and interventions
3. Implementation and evaluation of interventions
