Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Case-Based Teaching & Learning Initiative

This casebook published by the World Health Organization contains 64 case studies, each of which raises an important and difficult ethical issue connected with planning, reviewing, or conducting health-related research. Available for download free of charge from the World Health Organization in English, Arabic, Russian, and Spanish.

Access to cases

Many of our cases are available for sale through Harvard Business Publishing in the Harvard T.H. Chan case collection. Others are free to download through this website.

Cases in this collection may be used free of charge by Harvard Chan course instructors in their teaching. Contact Allison Bodznick, Harvard Chan Case Library administrator, for access.

Access to teaching notes

Teaching notes are available as supporting material to many of the cases in the Harvard Chan Case Library. Teaching notes provide an overview of the case and suggested discussion questions, as well as a roadmap for using the case in the classroom.

Access to teaching notes is limited to course instructors only.

Teaching notes for cases available through Harvard Business Publishing may be downloaded after registering for an Educator account.
To request teaching notes for cases that are available for free through this website, look for the "Teaching note available for faculty/instructors" link accompanying the abstract for the case you are interested in; you'll be asked to complete a brief survey verifying your affiliation as an instructor.

Using the Harvard Business Publishing site

Faculty and instructors with university affiliations can register for Educator access on the Harvard Business Publishing website, where many of our cases are available. An Educator account provides access to teaching notes, full-text review copies of cases, articles, simulations, course planning tools, and discounted pricing for your students.
