PBH 421 - Epidemiology

4 Hour(s)
General Education S2

Modern epidemiology, as a science applicable to investigations of disease and other outcomes, policy assessment, and population science, evolved during the last half of the 20th century. Epidemiologic methods focused on application of statistical theory, use of survey methods, and information technology implementation. Epidemiology also broadened its scope to include concepts of causation applicable to non-communicable disease and other health determinants, including social and behavior factors. Applications to intervention efficacy, effectiveness, and safety, testing and decision-making methods, and policy analysis applicable to social concerns recently have been integrated into epidemiology teaching and research.
