HSE 131 Foundations of Epidemiology II: Theory and Methods
This graduate-level course is the second in a two-part sequence. The two courses are designed to teach the underlying theory of epidemiologic study designs and analysis and to prepare students to conduct epidemiologic research. Expanding upon concepts covered in Foundations of Epidemiology I, students develop an in-depth understanding of advanced concepts related to confounding (including causal diagrams), learn how to interpret and critically analyze the biomedical primary literature, and gain experience in epidemiological study design. Concepts related to weight of evidence and systematic review, outbreak investigation, and assessment of the effects of policies on health are also covered.
