All Research

• PM-274 Practical Epidemiology

  This module explores the underlying concepts that are used to evaluate population health. How to design a study, measuring frequency and rate of diseases, how tell what the risk factors are for getting a disease, how to critically appraise research, and understanding the limitations of research including bias, reverse causality and confounding. The module will use the current work with Public Health Wales, Welsh Government and Charities and show how their programmes are evaluated using epidemiology design and analysis. The data used in workshops will come directly from our research working in primary schools, arthritis and with the Growing up in Wales study. This course provides hands on experience and training in understanding and measuring population health, and is delivered by practicing researchers in the National Centre for Population Health and Well-being.
