-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Special project in the field, laboratory, or library under the direction of a faculty member. May be repeated for additional credit.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Original investigation and/or literature study pursued under the direction of a faculty member. May be repeated for additional credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Distribution and determinants of health events in human populations. Assessments of environmental conditions, lifestyles, and other circumstances influencing disease. Measures of disease occurrence and frequency, and use of these measures in health care. Major types of epidemiological investigation. Interpretation of statistical associations. Prerequisite: STAT 414* (*may be taken concurrently).
-
3.00 Credits
Principles and methods used to investigate the distribution, determinants, and prevention strategies for disease in human populations. Major topics include: disease classification, measures of disease frequency and relative effect, comparisons and contrasts of analytic study designs, methods used to isolate effects, statistical significance testing, interpretation of results, and screening for latent disease. Laboratory included. Prerequisite: STAT 509* or STAT 521* or STAT 505 (*may be taken concurrently).
-
3.00 Credits
Definitions and contrasts of cumulative incidence, incidence rates (density), and hazard rates. Contrasts confounding versus effect modification. Mantel-Haenszel relative-effect measures and significance-test results for relative effect, including riskdifference measures frequently used in case-control and cohort investigations. Assesses statistical power, sample-size determination, least-significant, relative-effect measures for observational case control and cohort investigations using dichotomous exposures. Estimates effect of exposure-measurement errors on the effect measures, and discusses correct for bias and random error. Laboratory includes Epi-Info and other computer programs, and problem sets used in applied epidemiology. Prerequisite: EPDM 509.
-
2.00 Credits
Studies complex epidemiologic models found in current epidemiology literature. Course topics include: analysis of study design, bias and misclassification, building a linear model for epidemiologic inference, logistic regression analysis, and analytic strategies used in epidemiologic analysis of complex data sets. Laboratory component of course involves microcomputer analyses of epidemiologic data sets. Prerequisite: EPDM 510, STAT 521.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Studies complex epidemiologic models found in current literature. Topics included for 1-unit credit includes: building a linear model, analytic strategies for epidemiologic inference, logistic regression analysis, and the theory for calculation of sample size and power when using these methods. Additional topics included for 3 units: nonparametric survival analysis, Poisson regression models, proportional hazard models, and the analysis of matched case-control studies. Laboratory includes microcomputer analysis of epidemiologic data sets. Prerequisite: EPDM 509, STAT 522.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and practice of intervention studies, including community and clinical trials. Design, analysis methods, randomization, masking schemes, management of complex trials, ethical considerations, and meta analysis. Laboratory includes: power calculations, interpretation of published reports, randomization, and design of trials. Prerequisite: EPDM 509* (*may be taken concurrently).
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lecture and discussion on a current topic in epidemiology. May be repeated for a maximum of 4 units applicable to degree program. Prerequisite: EPDM 509* (*may be taken concurrently).
-
3.00 Credits
Applies epidemiologic issues to maternal and child health topics emphasizing analysis and interpretation of data. Introduces key studies and standard data sets used to describe and compare maternal and child health outcomes both domestically and globally. Includes framework for critical review of studies in the field. Limited to maternal and child health, epidemiology, and doctoral students, or consent of instructor. Prerequisite: EPDM 509, (STAT 509 or STAT 521).
