PH 100 Inferential Methods in Epidemiology and Public Health

Students will learn to recognize the purpose, structure, strengths and weaknesses of common study designs: randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and observational studies (cohort and case-control). Weekly journal clubs establish a critical assessment framework to determine the relevance and validity of published studies. Students apply this knowledge through collaboratively writing a systematic review proposal, which includes developing a research question, conducting a preliminary literature search, and considering appropriate inclusion/exclusion criteria.
