Epidemiology for Public Health Specialization

Design and Critique Epidemiological Research. Develop skills that will allow you to conduct and critically assess research in epidemiology

Instructor: Filippos Filippidis

What you'll learn

  •   Calculate and interpret appropriate measures in order to describe disease frequency, association and attributable risk for given scenarios.
  •   Calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, in order to interpret these values in the context of screening.
  •   Compare and contrast different epidemiological study designs in order to describe their strengths and weaknesses.
  •   Identify different types of biases that may occur in epidemiological studies, in order to apply strategies to reduce such biases.

    • Skills you'll gain

  •   Research Design
  •   Quantitative Research
  •   Epidemiology
  •   Health Policy
  •   Clinical Research
  •   Research
  •   Public Health
  •   Statistical Analysis
  •   Statistical Methods
  •   Probability & Statistics
  •   Risk Analysis
  •   Research Methodologies

    • Specialization - 3 course series

    Through the assignments of this specialisation you will use the skills you have learned to calculate appropriate measures of frequency and association in a variety of study types. You will also practise identifying bias and confounding in epidemiological research and taking the necessary steps to control for them. By doing that, you will be able to decide which study findings should be trusted and correctly interpret their real life applications.
