PUBH4012 Introduction to Epidemiology
In this course, students examine core principles of epidemiology, including the prevention of chronic diseases, how disease spreads across populations, and how public health interventions can help control or reduce that spread. In addition, students gain an understanding of patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions; statistical evaluation, analysis, and interpretation; and the impact of health and disease social determinants on the health of individuals and the community. Students also explore epidemiology as a social science, by reviewing the social causes and consequences of health.
