PBH619

The course covers principles and methods of epidemiology, including descriptive and analytic approaches to assessing the distributions of health, disease, and injury in populations and factors that influence those distributions. The emphasis is on developing an understanding of concepts, rather than quantitative methods, although basic calculations are involved. In addition, epidemiologic issues in the interface with Public Health Policy will be studied. The course will consist of readings and critical review of epidemiology articles.
