This module is primarily intended for students who have attended the Term 1 modules (1) Statistics for EPH (module code 2021) and (2) Extended Epidemiology (module code 2007), and anyone who wishes to acquire further skills in the analysis and interpretation of epidemiological studies.

In particular, students should be familiar with the three major epidemiological study designs, with the concepts of confounding and effect modification/interaction, with the interpretation of confidence intervals and statistical tests, and with the basic data handling commands in Stata. 

Students who have not attended Term 1 modules in Extended Epidemiology and Statistics for EPH are strongly recommended to review the equivalent distance learning modules EPM101 (Fundamentals of Epidemiology) and EPM102 (Statistics for Epidemiology) prior to the start of this module.
