MHS 611 OBSERVATIONAL EPIDEMIOLOGY

This course expands upon introductory epidemiology to develop the learner?s knowledge and skills in the design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of non-experimental studies of infectious and non-infectious diseases with special focus on dissemination and implementation research in global health. During this course, we will discuss methods of observational epidemiology relative to empirically supported models (e.g., CFIR, REAIM, PRECEDE/PROCEED, ISF, KTA) and we will explore authoritative research syntheses in the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based interventions. Students will also gain experience with and knowledge in designing and analyzing observational studies that provide evidence for the support of global health interventions. Prerequisite: MHS 630 or equivalent. MHS 615 (or related biostatistics) recommended.
