At the end of this course, you will be able to:
Demonstrate the contribution of SSH to the response to epidemics
Master the key concepts of qualitative research in Social Sciences and Humanities applied to health
Understand the ethical and methodological challenges of qualitative research
Selecting appropriate methods for data generation in the context of a health emergency
Discover the principles and challenges of various approaches to disseminating scientific knowledge and maximising the impact of research
SSH play a crucial role in the management of epidemics. They enable us to understand the social and cultural dimensions of diseases, which are essential for an effective response from healthcare systems.
This MOOC has been designed by an interdisciplinary team. It highlights the importance of the contributions of SSH to the management of epidemics. You will explore qualitative methods in SSH, their application in the context of health emergencies and the associated methodological and ethical challenges.
This MOOC provides you with approaches for mobilising scientific data to ensure that healthcare interventions are adapted to local contexts. Through case studies, you will discover how SSH contribute to research on epidemics such as HIV, Ebola and COVID-19. We will also discuss the importance of interdisciplinarity in the management of these health emergencies. Drawing on lessons learned from previous epidemics, we will discuss strategies for improving the response to future health crises.
This MOOC is organised into 6 chapters, each made up of 5 to 6 sessions.
Each session is followed by two multiple-choice questions (MCQs), enabling learners to test their understanding of the different modules. At the end of each chapter, a set of MCQs is offered again. The videos are in French, with English and French subtitles. The MCQs are in French and English.

This course is aimed primarily at Masters and PhD research students, researchers in SSH, and health professionals. It is also aimed at operational staff responsible for preparing for and responding to epidemics.
You will need a computer with a browser and sound, as well as a sufficient internet connection to follow the MOOC.
To follow this course, you can choose between two options:
- The Discovery Course gives access to videos, quizzes and discussions in the forum. No badge is issued for this course. Registration is free.
- The Qualifying Course leads to a certificate. In addition to the activities of the Discovery Course, you will have to take a one-hour supervised distance learning exam, consisting of 30 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and obtaining 18 correct answers. The registration fee for the Qualifying Course is 150€.
Successful completion of the Qualifying Course gives you the opportunity to apply for the Institut Pasteur Online Diploma of Infectious Diseases (DNM2IP), which consists of 5 certificates to Institut Pasteur MOOCs on infectious diseases. To learn more, visit the Institut Pasteur's web page dedicated to this diploma.
The videos in the MOOC are all subtitled, in both English and French. Their playback speed can be accelerated or slowed down to suit your needs.
The subtitles are also grouped together in a text format for each video: these are the transcripts, accessible under each video.
Finally, more and more MOOCs also include what we call the BOOC. This is a PDF document containing all the transcripts, to which images and diagrams have been added to aid understanding. The BOOC can be downloaded.
