Module overview

This module focuses on the epidemiological methods and approaches that underpin an evidence-based approach to public health research and practice. The module covers each of the main types of epidemiological study design and provides a framework for critically appraising each method, differentiating association from causation and how to draw causal inferences. The module includes sessions on epidemiological study designs, chance, bias, confounding, measures of disease frequency and risk estimation and hypothesis testing. The module provides guidance as to how to critically appraise published studies and how to design studies.
