The online core course, which is currently under development with an expected release date of September 2007, is a WebCT-based, student-directed course that covers the core concepts of Women, Gender & Addictions. The proposed modules for this course include:
History & Perspective on Gender, Women & Addictions Research
Sex and Gender Analysis
The Epidemiology of Addictions
Mechanisms of Addiction
Consequences of Addiction for Individuals, Families and Society
Treatments & Strategies
Issues in Research Design for Addictions Research
Ethical and Scholarly Integrity in Addictions Research
Bridging Clinical and Academic Research: Evidence-Based Practice in Addictions
Knowledge Translation
The modules are designed to be short (~30 minutes per module to complete) and online discussion groups within the WebCT site allow for trainees and mentors to engage in a transdisciplinary discussion of the issues raised within the modules.
