This course provides an introduction to epidemiology and research design as related to pharmacy and health sciences. Focuses on research designs and methods to describe disease occurrence and risk factor associates; uses quantitative and biomedical information to infer whether causal relationships exist between potential causes and disease in populations. Considers how designs of epidemiologic studies may be constructed to maximize etiologic inferences. Covers confounding, randomized trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, and selected topics. The course provides the basis for the clinical research project which will be completed and presented in PHAR-7348 Research Seminar.
