Epidemiology (“epi”) is the study of the distribution and determinants of health and disease patterns in human populations. As a scientific method, epidemiology can be used to investigate, analyze, and ultimately prevent or control health problems on the population level. In this course you will develop your understanding of the epidemiologic approach for addressing important population health problems. You will have the opportunity to examine various population health issues from an epidemiologic perspective. Initially, you will learn to speak the “epi” language such that you can describe data in epidemiologic terms and examine associations between exposures and health/disease outcomes. You will also develop skills to conduct basic data analysis, critically analyze epidemiologic study methods, and assess the validity of “epi” study results. You will leave this course with a better understanding of both the significant impact of epidemiology on human health as well as some of the limitations of the science. Prerequisites: PUBH 220 and STAT 220
