Colleagues in nursing were puzzled when I told them I would be trained by an anthropologist to take anthropometric craniofacial measurements. As it turned out my new colleagues in anthropology were also surprised to find how well my training in public health nursing facilitated the successful collection of data. Young children are notoriously difficult subjects for the anthropometrist, yet the procedures used were, in kind, no different from what nurses routinely ask of a child. Thus, my previous experience as a public health nurse specializing in maternal child health allowed me to develop several useful strategies that resulted in successful collection of anthropometric data from over 1300 infants, with follow-up of some at one year and three years of age. As so often, cross-disciplinary approaches produce useful results, in this case the synthesis of an anthropometric methodology and a public health nurse's understanding of children and mothers.

We documented lessons learned in the initial design and development of the new Harvard doctor of public health (DrPH) degree, an innovative professional public health doctorate designed to provide advanced education in the field of public health. Using data from program documents, personal participation in the development and administration of the degree, and initial students’ results, we present key learnings from this experience and describe the program’s goals and processes. Now entering its fifth year, the new Harvard DrPH program has enrolled about 70 students and graduated its first 2 classes in a program that combines advanced public health study with leadership development and field engagement. Development of this transformational innovation in advanced public health education required creative approaches to competency development and curriculum design, engagement of faculty to become supportive stakeholders, and substantial support for educational administration. Demand for a program of this type is strong. Continuous improvement is ongoing.

In addition, the incidence of depression in students varies by university. This study aims to describe the depression of students of the Public Health Study Program at Universitas Airlangga Banyuwangi. This study used a cross-sectional study design with descriptive studies. The respondents was 68 students of the Public Health Study Program of Universitas Airlangga Banyuwangi, aged 17-21 years. Data is analyzed univariably. The results showed that of 68 respondents there were 57.4% of respondents who were depressed. Of the number of respondents who were depressed, 59% were in the young age category and 87.2% were female. Whereas if viewed based on the semester taken by respondents at the time of the study, the majority of respondents were in semester 2 that is equal to 41%, and most respondents had a GPA not cumlaude with a number of 59%. The conclusion of this study is depression prevalence rate of students of the Banyuwangi Public Health Study Program is higher than those who are not depressed. Better diagnosis and treatment of students who are depressed can help reduce suicide rates in adolescents.

Abstract Background People with heterogeneous sexual orientations and gender identities are rarely the focus of public health research or teaching. LGBTQ people (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) are particularly at risk of being discriminated against in accessing and using health care. In order to give students of public health a perspective that is sensitive to diversity and which will allow them to consider LGBTQ people in their future research, teaching and practice, these topics must be actively reflected on during their studies. Methods A website was built by a team of students of the Bachelor degree program in Health Communication at the School of Public Health, Bielefeld University in Germany. The aim of this course was to learn about the health situation and risks of LGTBQ people. One main emphasis of this project was to develop a medium that focuses on the perspective for newcomers, migrants and refugees in the context of LGTBQ health in a participatory way. Results The students developed an understanding of LGBTQ, migration and health largely independently through individual research and group discussion, decided to create an English-language website (https://queermigrantswelcome.jimdofree.com) and present existing findings in blog posts they wrote on their own. The pictures on the homepage were drawn by the students themselves, as they perceived the freely available LGBTQ pictures as too stereotypical. They contacted counselling centres for LGBTQ persons throughout Germany and asked in which language they offer counselling and have included these counselling possibilities on the homepage. Conclusions Already at the Bachelor’s level, students can design innovative media that can improve the health care of marginalized people and contribute to the dismantling of discriminatory structures. It is important that the students are given sufficient freedom to make their own decisions and identify with the topic, thus facilitating a major learning process. Key messages Desiderates in health communication can be reduced by well accompanied student projects. The topic LGBTQ must be implemented in the curricula of public health study programmes to reduce discrimination in health care.
