sharing our work led by Anirudh: Training CHWs in type 2 diabetes management has shown limited and, at most, indirect effects in improving glycemic control in LMIC settings. These findings are constrained by the small number of eligible studies, heterogeneity in training methodologies, and the multicomponent nature of the included interventions, with 1 trial demonstrating a statistically significant yet small reduction in HbA1c(−0.24%) https://t.co/0oK8qwhhdV

Day 3 of the #RealistResearchBlendedCourse began with two of our participants volunteering to share their insights and provide an overview of the Day 2 sessions.

The workshop then moved to a glimpse of other theory-driven methods. One of the sessions was led by Dr Vaibhav Agavane and focused on the approach called “theory of change. ” He noted that every programme or intervention carries both implicit and explicit ideas about how change is expected to occur, and that a theory of change helps make those assumptions and the programme’s logic explicit. Through an example, he illustrated the various elements of a theory of change.

Dr Upendra Bhojani described another theory-driven method, Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). He explained how QCA combines the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative approaches to identify deterministic outcomes and examine causal pathways. Drawing on an example, he walked through the different components of QCA including cases, outcomes, conditions, and the construction of a truth table.

Dr Pragati Hebbar delved into what a realist synthesis is, and how it differs from a realist evaluation or a conventional systematic review. She explained the process of realist synthesis and underscored that realist synthesis is theorydriven, it does not place literature in a strict hierarchy, and allows the use of a wide range of sources, She highlighted both the strengths and the limitations of realist synthesis and demonstrated how to conduct a realist synthesis through an example.

Following this session, the participants spent time reading a selected article on realist synthesis. Afterwards, they broke into small groups to critically appraise a published realist synthesis study. Once group work was complete, each team presented their findings to the rest of the participants.

The course concluded with an overview of resources and support for realist evaluation practitioners, including HSGSHAPES and RAMESES, followed by certificate distribution and a dedicated feedback session.

@Reuters It's interesting to see @UN asking people to come and talk. If we flip the coin, why can't @UN actively engage and solve the problem?

Our fourth keynote speaker, the eminent Dr. Vikram Patel, Paul Farmer Professor and Chair of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Co-Founder of @SangathIndia, stressed that truth and justice are the foundations of public health, noting how facts are interpreted differently and how commercial determinants and social media shape awareness. Reflecting on the pandemic, he highlighted unanswered questions about its origins and death toll, the mental health impact and the injustice faced by those left without food or shelter. He called for accountability, good governance and the need to overcome caste and religious prejudices to collectively fight inequality and strengthen public healthcare.

He highlighted the vital role of public health institutions as policy influencers, educators and knowledge creators, designing, delivering, monitoring and evaluating policies while fostering knowledge generation, management and translation into practice. Dr. Reddy stressed the need for evidence-informed research, multidisciplinary collaboration, agility in addressing emerging challenges and equity as a core principle. He urged professionals to act decisively when opportunities arise, emphasizing that scientific credibility, political viability and financial feasibility are all critical for shaping impactful public policy.

The panel discussion on “Nurturing Public Health Leaders in India in Uncertain Times: Balancing Equity, Technology, and Local Self-Reliance,” moderated by @prashanthns, brought together diverse perspectives on the future of public health education and practice.

💠Prof. Vasanthi Srinivasan emphasized on the importance of equity and accessibility in education through platforms like SWAYAM, advocating innovative pedagogy, regional language courses, and the principle of “Each one, teach one” to ensure opportunity for all.

💠Dr. @yogesh_kalkonde highlighted the gap between degrees and real skills, urging the creation of experienced practitioners who address social and commercial determinants of health, remarking, “We have the technology to travel to Mars but our ASHAs cannot travel 2 kms.”

💠Shri @nachiketmor raised concerns about finance becoming a tool of exclusion, stressing financial innovation as a pathway to equitable access.

💠Prof. Dr. Arima Mishra underlined the social purpose of public health education, calling for a transformative pedagogy that integrates field and classroom experiences, builds ethical sensibility, and reimagines engagement through equity and social justice.

💠Shri Muttaiah focused on tribal health and education, stressing the importance of knowing one’s community, ensuring basic rights like roads, transport, water and reviving people’s health movements to work in close collaboration with institutions

Together, the panelists highlighted that building resilient public health leadership requires equity-driven education, practical experience, inclusive technology, and a strong commitment to social justice.
