Description
This course exposes students to advanced methods in epidemiologic research and provides students with an opportunity to consider how these strategies complement and improve upon the more commonly used strategies. Emphasis will be placed on developing practical skills relevant to contemporary epidemiologic research. Students will explore individual-level exposure-disease associations using classic study designs and techniques, as well as use methods that shift away from identifying individual risk factors for disease causation to the description and analysis of environmental systems that give rise to both exposures and health states. The class includes lectures on research methods, hands-on data analysis exercises and discussions about determining causation through epidemiological research.
