“…In addition, the wealth of information in the CHARLS data facilitates us to elucidate possible mechanisms of the positive health effect of military service in the elderly. The mechanism analysis enriched previous related studies (e.g., Landes et al, 2017;McKinney et al, 1997;Williamson et al, 2019). Moreover, the results support the finding that military service promoted human capital (e.g., Eynde, 2015;Hou et al, 2020;Lindqvist & Vestman, 2011;MacLean, 2017), while we found that some social security measures were ineffective in improving the health status of older veterans.…”

“…However, on the negative side, the physical injuries and dangerous exposures experienced during military service may have adverse effects on veterans' health. Risk events directly related to soldiers' health include training accidents, overtraining injuries, public security maintenance, and major emergency events such as infectious diseases and natural disasters (Chase et al, 2015;Elder et al, 2009;McKinney et al, 1997;Wilmoth et al, 2010;. Especially in nonpeaceful times, soldiers would face significant risks disability, chronic illness, and mental illness (Bedard & Deschênes, 2006;Chase et al, 2015;Davies et al, 2015;Dobkin & Shabani, 2009;Williamson et al, 2019), and may even give their lives.…”

This article investigated the effects and mechanisms of military service on health outcomes of Chinese elderly men aged 60 and older. While numerous studies explored the effect of military service on health in developed countries, we still knew little about the relationship between military service and later health outcomes in developing countries such as China. Using the data of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we found that military service is positively associated with better health outcomes of the elderly, in terms of physical health, cognitive abilities, and self-rated health. In addition, results of mechanism analysis show that, compared with nonveterans, elderly veterans had healthier habits, better education, higher individual and household income, and more favorable social medical security.Moreover, heterogeneity analysis indicates that this effect is more pronounced for older, rural, and spouseless elderly people. This article provided insights into elderly veterans’ health security measures in developing countries.

“…Some students would have been exposed to scaling interventions in previous courses; however, this course allowed them to actively engage with these concepts in a concrete manner. Various experiential learning researchers have made reference to individuals applying knowledge and theories learned in coursework, (Cashman & Seifer, 2008; Hu et al, 2016) and gaining exposure to the workplace (Chorazy & Klinedinst, 2019; Marriott et al, 2015; Maudsley & Strivens, 2000; McIntire & DiVito, 2017). Third, we acknowledge that the process leading to entrepreneurial pitching could be strengthened and made more practical as students were not placed in the field.…”

Traditional experiential learning techniques have been incorporated into public health curricula in the past; however, research has demonstrated the need for more applied and innovative approaches to experiential learning. We introduced an entrepreneurial pitch project where students had the opportunity to design and present technological and social innovations to an external panel of judges. We then evaluated the impact of such pitches on experiential learning by conducting semistructured, face-to-face interviews with student participants. The interview transcripts were analyzed in light of Kolb’s experiential learning theoretical framework. The results of the study indicated that the process of preparing and delivering entrepreneurial pitches was rewarding for students and enhanced their learning experience. The process provided students with concrete experiences and demonstrated elements of abstract conceptualization and active experimentation. However, the results also illustrated that the entrepreneurial pitch process could be strengthened by the addition of critical self-reflection activities. Through the results of this study, we have created a narrative on how entrepreneurial pitches might foster experiential learning in global health pedagogy and provided recommendations for course designers and instructors to consider in maximizing experiential learning for students.

“…One teaching approach that has gained momentum and proven successful is the application of community-based coursework focused on real projects (Bentley & Swan, 2017; Comeau et al, 2019; Florence & Behringer, 2011; Greece, Dejong, Schonfeld, Sun, & McGrath, 2018; McIntire & DiVito, 2017). The literature indicates that this approach has many benefits including enhanced retention and application of key concepts (Chupp & Joseph, 2010), as well as the development of skills linked to critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and cultural awareness (O’Connor, McEwen, Owen, Lynch, & Hill, 2011).…”

Teaching Graduate Students to Evaluate Public Health Programs Through Community-Based Learning

Public health professionals are increasingly called on to demonstrate program evaluation skills, a core competency for the field. Learning opportunities that are connected to community organizations with identified evaluation needs give students meaningful opportunities to build and test new skills. When thoughtfully implemented, community-based learning benefits both the student and the community, yet there are several important considerations for designing a course that incorporates this feature. This article describes one approach for teaching graduate public health students how to conceptualize and write a comprehensive program evaluation plan for a community agency, based on the needs, priorities, and capacity of that agency. Lessons learned and recommendations for adopting this model are discussed.
