Introduces students to the principles and concepts used in epidemiologic research. Presents material in the context of an epidemiological framework with three major areas: population and an introduction of study designs; measurement, including measures of accuracy, disease occurrence and associations; bias and confounding in epidemiologic studies. Laboratory exercises and assignments provide experience with applying concepts and calculations to problems drawn from real epidemiological data and published literature.
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to: 1. Describe basic epidemiologic methods 2. Identify and distinguish basic epidemiological study designs 3. Recognize important characteristics associated with measurement in epidemiologic studies 4. Recognize and analyze the most important threats to validity: confounding, information bias, and selection bias 5. Critically review published epidemiologic papers and assess the validity of their design and their inferences
