Content:
Air pollution, pesticides, metals are just some examples of environmental factors that have been linked to adverse health effects such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease. With increasing Risks associated with environmental exposures are generally small in the exposed population, because the population exposed is large the population attributable risks might be considerable. This course focus on basic principles and in more detail special environmental epidemiological designs. With increasing attention on genetic susceptibility as effect-modificator of environmental related health effects we will also focus on how gene-environment interactions can be studied.
Learning outcomes:
With increasing attention on environmental health issues form the public and government this is a growing area of those working in the field of public health. The course provides a public health interpretation of epidemiological concepts in the field of environmental epidemiology.
