This 3ie Evidence Dialogues webinar will discuss the results of impact evaluations of an educational intervention to improve secondary students’ ability to think critically about health in Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda.
Critical thinking is clear, reasonable, reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do. Misinformed choices can be harmful and wasteful for everyone, including patients, health professionals, citizens, and policymakers. There is an overwhelming amount of information about what is good or bad for our health, and it is difficult for people to know what to believe.
In this 3ie Evidence Dialogues webinar, we will discuss the results of impact evaluations of an educational intervention to improve secondary students’ ability to think critically about health in Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda. We will present the results of randomized trials and process evaluations, a panel of policymakers will discuss implications and lessons learned from this research, and we will discuss the importance of critical thinking for international development in and beyond healthcare.
