Concepts and methods used in the study of health disparities and health equity globally.
Introduction to Epidemiology: Basic concepts of epidemiology, such as disease frequency, distribution, and determinants.
Public Health Principles and Practice: Basic principles of public health, including disease prevention and control strategies, health promotion, and health systems.
Statistical Methods for Epidemiology: Basic statistical methods needed for epidemiology, such as sampling, probability, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis.
Study Designs in Epidemiology: Various study designs used in epidemiology, such as observational studies and clinical trials.
Biostatistics: Advanced statistical methods used in epidemiology, such as survival analysis and cluster analysis.
Infectious Diseases Epidemiology: Epidemiology of infectious diseases, including transmission, prevention, and control strategies.
Non-communicable Disease Epidemiology: Epidemiology of non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Environmental Epidemiology: Epidemiology of environmental risk factors, such as air pollution and water contamination.
Reproductive and Perinatal Epidemiology: Epidemiology of reproductive and perinatal health outcomes, such as infertility and low birth weight.
Global Health: Concepts related to health disparities, social determinants of health, and global disease burden.
Health Services Research & Evaluation: Health services research methods are used to evaluate the efficacy of healthcare delivery systems.
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention: The principles and strategies of health promotion and disease prevention in various populations.
Infectious Disease Control & Prevention: The principles and practices of infectious disease control and prevention in various populations.
Disasters and Public Health Emergencies: The epidemiology of disasters, and the public health response strategies employed during epidemics and natural disasters.
Behavioral Epidemiology: The application of social and behavioral theories to epidemiological studies, such as those focused on the impact of behavior on health outcomes.
Occupational Epidemiology: The application of epidemiology to evaluation of occupational and environmental exposures to hazards, and the health impacts of those exposures.
Life Course Epidemiology: Methods used in epidemiological studies of how health outcomes vary across the life course, and how early life events impact health in later life.
Epidemiology of Nutrition: The epidemiology of nutrition-related diseases and associated risk factors, such as obesity and undernutrition.
Epidemiology of Mental Health: The epidemiology of mental health disorders and related risk factors, such as stress, traumatic experiences, and environmental factors.
Epidemiology of Aging: The epidemiology of aging populations, including how concepts of aging can be applied to research on health promotion and disease prevention.
Descriptive Epidemiology: This type of epidemiology is concerned with describing the distribution of diseases within populations. This includes examining the frequency and severity of the disease, identifying the at-risk population, and other characteristics related to the disease.
Analytical Epidemiology: This type of epidemiology is concerned with identifying the causes of diseases through the use of statistical analysis. This includes examining risk factors, population dynamics, and other factors that may contribute to the development of disease.
Clinical Epidemiology: This type of epidemiology is concerned with examining the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Clinical epidemiologists use a combination of clinical knowledge and epidemiological tools to develop strategies for improving health outcomes.
Infectious Disease Epidemiology: This type of epidemiology is concerned with identifying and controlling infectious diseases. This includes examining the spread of disease, identifying the source of the disease, and developing strategies for preventing the spread of disease.
Environmental Epidemiology: This type of epidemiology is concerned with identifying the effects of environmental factors on human health. This includes identifying exposure to various pollutants and toxins, examining the effects of radiation, and investigating other environmental factors that may affect health.
Molecular Epidemiology: This type of epidemiology is concerned with understanding the genetic and molecular factors that contribute to disease. This includes examining genetic markers associated with disease and using molecular tools to identify the mechanisms by which diseases develop.
Social Epidemiology: This type of epidemiology is concerned with understanding the social determinants of health. This includes examining the effects of poverty, education, and other social factors on health outcomes.
