Throughout history, pandemics have devastated populations and changed the trajectory of mankind. The global effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic have disproportionately affected certain regions and population groups. This course provides an overview of the far-reaching impact of COVID-19 and presents contact tracing as a tool to mitigate the spread of the disease. Contact tracers are critically needed to help state and local health departments, particularly in large and diverse states such as Texas.
This course was developed during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, and thus, some of the data regarding disease prevalence, mortality, and vaccines have changed over time. The content, which addresses issues specific to population health and contact tracing during a pandemic, remains relevant.

Reviews summary
Public health during pandemic: contact tracing and beyond
This course provided training in contact tracing during the COVID-19 pandemic and offered a comprehensive overview of the public health impacts of pandemics throughout history. It received mostly positive reviews with many learners expressing that the materials were informative, thorough, and well-organized. While some concerns were expressed about outdated information and a lack of hands-on training in contact tracing techniques, the overall sentiment towards the course was positive.
Well organized
"The course is very complete, multidisciplinary, meets the objective of analyzing the situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic."
"This course was very informative with a good balance of video sessions and reading materials."
Comprehensive
"This course is very much important, not only during this pandemic period, but also in public health in general."
"Very informative. Have learned so much about not only the virus itself, but how it impacts people in our communities."
"It educate a lot on how to use help and find help in time of the pandemic. It is a good resource for many that want to learn more."
"Course is completely useful. Easy to follow, I think thata even for non health care people.It is practical, and a lot can be learnt about Contact tracing, that it is key to put a brake to Covid 19."
"This course was full of information that was somehow comforting. I'm not sure if I will use it in an employment situation but I definitely can use the tools to have more compassionate conversations with people in my community."
Very informative
"This was a very informative course."
"This was a very informative and well planned course"
"very informative and teaches about a vital role in containing the Covid-19 virus."
"I learned so much about COVID-19, and feel prepared to help my community as a contact tracer."
Outdated information
"I am taking this course in February of 2020 and while some of the content is informative and relevant, I feel that a number of the resources used in this class, were somewhat outdated as many of them were from March, April and May of 2020, which in pandemic time, feels like a lifetime ago."
Lack of hands-on training
"There should be a way to audit classes and take tests without buying a certificate. I took all of the classed but it6 shows that I am only 87%, which is incorrect."
"A good amount of the material from the first week was fairly informative. However, the knowledge checks wee consistently poorly designed. Much of material in week two was superficial to the point of uselessness. This course was almost absent of training for calls and interactions with contacts. There was only one slide in the entire course that showed an example of the data sheets that might be used. This slide was almost impossible to see and was glossed over. Overall, this is a course of poor quality."
"I am taking this course in February of 2020 and while some of the content is informative and relevant, I feel that a number of the resources used in this class, were somewhat outdated as many of them were from March, April and May of 2020, which in pandemic time, feels like a lifetime ago."
