This course focuses on the implementation and interpretation of epidemiological concepts and measures, and the essential role of epidemiology in (i) understanding the health of populations and (ii) evaluating public health initiatives. To achieve that, students will deepen their knowledge of the biostatistical concepts that underpin epidemiological analyses. The course will also extend students' practical skills and ability to locate, access, manipulate, analyse, and present data through hands-on use of statistical software. Emphasis will be placed on the principles of epidemiological reasoning and interpretation of findings. At the end of this course students will be able to apply quantitative approaches to address population health challenges, interpret epidemiological information contained in scientific literature, communicate these interpretations to both lay and professional audiences, and think critically about the strengths and limitations of different approaches. |
