Course description
Develop ability to read/interpret statistical results in primary literature. Minimal calculation. No formal training in any statistical programming software.
Biostatistical Literacy will cover the fundamental concepts of study design, descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, odds ratios, relative risks, adjusted models in multiple linear, logistic and Poisson regression, and survival analysis. The focus will be when to use a given method and how to interpret the results, not the actual computation or computer programming to obtain results from raw data.
prereq: MPH or certificate student or environmental health or instr consent
