This course introduces the student to the basics of epidemiology. The focus is on the methodology of the study of the occurrence of health and disease in human (and by extent in animal) populations. The course starts with an overview of the history and present of epidemiology. Then, it introduces the measures of occurrence and association, and the concepts of causality and systematic error. Last, the main study designs used in epidemiology are discussed. In particular, the general concepts in relation to cohort, case-control and trials are explained.
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
- understand basic terminology and basic principles of epidemiology,
- calculate and interpret the different measures of occurrence, association and impact used in epidemiological research
- understand causality concepts and identify threats to causality in epidemiological studies (bias)
- accurately present different types of epidemiological studies.
