The course combines lectures, case-based discussion, guest talks, and policy-design workshops. Several sessions are structured as problem-solving seminars rather than one-way lectures, with particular attention to comparison across Japan, Malaysia, and other Asian settings. To facilitate engagement with practitioners and specialists in Asia, some guest sessions may be delivered online. Learning is organized around three forms of work: close reading and discussion of key texts; case analysis of policy, industry, and community initiatives; and iterative writing for policy practice. Short analytical response memos will be assigned during the semester, and students will develop a final policy brief in English through staged exercises on problem framing, evidence assessment, stakeholder analysis, implementation design, and revision. Peer feedback will be incorporated into the workshop process. The course welcomes students from diverse disciplinary and professional backgrounds. No prior clinical or medical training is assumed. Active participation, comparative reasoning, and the ability to connect well-being, prevention, political economy, and implementation will be emphasized throughout.

Grade Evaluation Evaluation comprises the following components: 1) Attendance, short reports submitted after each lecture*, 40％ 2) Final report. 60％ *Short reports are written in response to a question posed by the lecturer in a format of the student’s choosing. As the course is in an omnibus format, these short reports are important for demonstrating understanding of each lecture and ensuring that students have given thought to how the contents of each lecture relate to each other as individual parts of the overall course. The content of the short reports will not affect grading of the course—evaluation is based on whether a report is submitted or not. These short reports may be considered as notes in preparation for compilation of the final report.
