Decision analysis and risk management is a university course [1] for Master's Degree Programme in General Toxicology and Environmental Health Risk Assessment ToxEn.

**Schedule and contents of the course.**
Each row is a three-hour block of lectures, exercises, discussions, or organised group work, in total 69 hours of teaching. In addition, self-organised group work and individual learning is expected to take ca. 100 hours.
Changes are likely especially in the content, but the dates presented here are more or less fixed. Abbreviations: RA = risk assessment, DA = decision analysis, RM = risk management, RC = risk communication.

How do we know if we succeeded? Developing risk management options. Development of risk assessment questions. Science-policy interface. Why it does not exist. Boundaries of RA and RM
3.3.	13-16	Mikko, Jouni, Marko			Beginning of the swine flu story: How the swine flu problem emerged (spring 2009) and spread in the world. Swine flu story (summer 2009): Preparedness in Finland and internationally. Vaccination campaigns, counter-campaigns. Should we launch a vaccination campaign? Should I take vaccination? Should I not take vaccination?
4.3.	9-12	Mikko, Jouni, Marko	Introduction to using Opasnet reading and browsing modes of contribution user accounts / logging in basic editing commenting and discussing content Task: Build the page for the group work.
4.3.	13-16	Jouni, Mikko, Marko	Decision analysis: introduction Purpose of assessment: Why it is done Concepts: decisions, objectives, optimization, uncertainty, decision trees Measures of outcome: Utility, DALY, QALY, WTP Probability theory Subjective probability Practical exercise Bayesian rule and Bayesian networks Importance of exhaustiveness (coverage)	*Dennis Lindley: Philosophy of statistics	Exercise part one begins: make a decision analysis study plan to find out good policies in this case. Which models to use, what to assess?
8.3.	9-12	Jouni	Decision analysis (continued).		Swine flu case as a decision problem: what are the relevant decisions, outcomes and questions in the case?
9.3.	9-12	Jouni	Decision analysis (continued).
10.3.	9-12	Marko	Modeling and Monte Carlo simulation What is modeling or model? Why would you like to use Monte Carlo? Background of the MC method Monte Carlo, simulation and Monte Carlo simulation Practical implementation of MC Programs Defining the probability functions Reading the results Monte Carlo vs. Bayes and Bootstrapping		Swine flu story (autumn - winter 2009): First deaths of swine flu (threat was real). Problems with implementation: long queues in health centers. Clear-cut case falls apart. False alarm? Disease was milder than thought.

29.3.	9-12	Jouni, Mikko			Full drafts of DA study plans. Presentations by students of and discussions about study plans. Apply the model to assess the case based on your own research plan. Defend your plan in plenary. Are plans executable? What outputs are expected? Do they serve the intended needs? What should the model do? How should the results be used? The core of a model can go through technical check: does it work? The assessment should link to the outside world: does it produce useful info, is it convincing to users?
30.3.	9-12	Mikko, Jouni	Risk management (theory). What is managed, who is responsible, what is included? Traditional paradigm.

Swine flu story: Secret connections to drug industry? Narcolepsy.
1.4.	9-12	Jouni, Mikko	Inference rules. Scientific method as open discussion. Falsification. Do we need pre-peer-review?
7.4.	13-16	Mikko	Discussion: Lectures of concepts Pragma-dialectics, argumentation theory. Parts of Argumentation. Structuring of discussions in practice and theory Ready-made texts: discussions and organisation Homework: evaluate relevance - validity of arguments. Discuss in groups the next day. Build a structured discussion out of this in groups. Possibly utilise group writing tools?		Swine flu story (autumn 2010): Vaccination campaign halted. THL remains silent about possible risks. Narcolepsy analysis. Impacts of openness. How methods learned should be applied now? Why openness is needed?
8.4.	9-12	Mikko			Swine flu story (January 2011): Publishing of narcolepsy results and apologies. Searching for the guilty.
11.4.	9-12	Jouni, Mikko			Final seminar: Presentations (exercise parts one and two), discussions, and summary of perspectives to the case.

Täydennyskoulutuskursseja DARM-kurssin aiheista järjestetään osana ERACedu-riskinarviointikoulutusta. Koulutus järjestetään yksipäiväisinä koulutuksina Kuopiossa. Koulutuksessa voi osallistua yhteen tai useampaan päivään; muiden osien käyminen ei ole välttämätöntä, mutta samassa kuussa järjestettävät koulutukset ovat aihepiiriltään lähellä toisiaan.

 Täydennyskoulutuskursseja DARM-kurssin aiheista järjestetään osana ERACedu-riskinarviointikoulutusta. Koulutus järjestetään yksipäiväisinä koulutuksina Kuopiossa. Koulutuksessa voi osallistua yhteen tai useampaan päivään; muiden osien käyminen ei ole välttämätöntä, mutta samassa kuussa järjestettävät koulutukset ovat aihepiiriltään lähellä toisiaan.
