CLRES 2011 - ADVANCED OBSERVATIONAL EPIDEMIOLOGICAL METHODS

Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
This course is designed to introduce students to advanced observational study design and analysis and to provide students with tools and resources to carry out independent research using observational study design. Lectures will focus on case-control, cohort, case-cohort, nested case-control, and case-crossover design and methods. We will discuss recent manuscripts and apply statistical concepts in hands-on computer sessions to aid in the learning of concepts covered in class. The following goals are proposed to teach investigators to: 1.Critically evaluate literature using case-control, cohort, case-cohort, nested case-control and case-crossover design. 2.Understand and address concepts of study design, bias, matching, stratification, propensity score matching, and inverse probability weighting. 3.Identify methods for handling missing data, rare outcomes and count data. 4.Understand modern techniques for addressing confounding, mediation, and effect modification. 5.Conduct and interpret results from appropriate statistics using Stata.
