Using Epidemiology to Make Public Health Decisions

Catalog description

The objective of the three-course data sequence is for students to develop the knowledge, skills, and perspectives necessary to use data to make public health decisions. These three data courses complement each other, but do not have to be taken in a specific order. In this course, students learn core principles and methods of epidemiologic investigations as they apply to public health case studies/current real-world examples. This course focuses on epidemiological methods and principles of study design and data analysis through analyses and critiques of published epidemiological studies as well as hands-on practice through weekly exercises and assignments.
