A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concepts and terms in epidemiology

Concepts and terms in epidemiology are the building blocks that allow students to describe, measure and interpret disease patterns. Mastery of definitions such as incidence, prevalence, risk, odds, relative risk, attributable risk, and measures of association is essential for analysing data, designing studies and answering exam questions.
