Course Information

Description

The course will cover introductory level epidemiology and related biostatistical principles and methods, with a specific focus on problems related to global health. Instruction will also be offered in the use of Stata, a statistical software package, for calculating descriptive statistics, generating epidemiologic measures of association, and analyzing data for monitoring and evaluation of global health programs. A key difference in this course compared with other introductory level courses in epidemiology and biostatistics is that it offers examples from global health to illustrate epidemiologic methods and statistical approaches.
