The course will expand the student's understanding of causality and threats to validity in Epidemiological research. The focus will be on the assessment and control of bias, including Selection bias, information bias, and confounding. The concept of effect modification (Interaction) will be appraised. Students will learn how to assess effect modification and control of confounding in a variety of study designs including case-control and cohort studies.
Objectives
After full participation in this course, students will be able to:
Overview of epidemiological study designs(Cross sectional study design,Case-control study design, Prospective study design, Clinical trial design
Bias in epidemiological studies
Questionnaire development and data collection
Concept of causality
Standardization for rates
Protocol development
Ethical issues in research
Critical review and scientific written
Outbreak investigation
Define epidemiological problem analysis and epidemiological approach to solve the problem
Epidemiological surveillance of health related states and Eventsin population
Epidemiology of health related states and events in population
Epidemiological methods of experimental trail. Quasi experimental design
