Epidemiology is the scientific study of the determinants and distribution of health and disease, and therefore provides the basis for the design of public health policy, interventions and education. In this course, students will learn how to describe patterns of population health and disease, design and interpret studies to analyze these patterns, evaluate evidence for causal factors in disease, and understand strategies for preventing both chronic and infectious diseases.
