Course participants will learn technical concepts concerning attribution of risk/cause and effect; dealing with uncertainty; managing unusually large temporal and spatial scales (e.g. meteorology, physical geography and health); methods for climate change adaptation, such as early warnings systems and campaigns; Climate change policy and research dissemination. Also, co-benefits and mitigation strategies, such as life cycle analysis, within the health sector will be covered. The course will constitute lectures, practical exercises, seminars, plus a student project. Some changes to this course offer might occur as the course catalogue is printed before final budget decision has been taken by the medical faculty.

The course covers basic concepts in representation of qualitative findings and provides practical guidelines on moving from analysis to writing. This course is a follow up of an introductory course on the early steps of qualitative data analysis that lead to identifying patterns within data. The present course focuses on tactics for interpreting meaning, sorting out conclusions and constructing valid representations of qualitative data. Practical techniques, both computerassisted and manual, for interpreting data and representing the concepts and relationships within will be presented. Strategies for writing up qualitative findings will be covered, using a balance of description, analysis, interpretation and connection to other work. Methods of thematic analysis will be in focus, and the relevance of these techniques to other methods of qualitative analysis will be discussed. The course is not dependent on specialized theory, and is most appropriate for researchers who have collected qualitative data and begun the analysis process. Participants will therefore have the opportunity to use their own data in the course. This course is financed by the Swedish Research School for Global Health. Students in the Research School will be given priority.
