Epidemiology is critical
for organizing and planning health services and targeting specific
interventions. This module provides a refresher on the foundations of
epidemiology. It covers the measures of frequency that include count,
prevalence, and incidence in public health practice. It concludes by discussing
descriptive epidemiology, which answers the questions what, who, when, and
where about health events. Completing this module will improve your knowledge
on descriptive data analysis, which is used to assess population health,
identifying whether health issues are increasing or decreasing, where they are
occurring most, and who are the most affected. |
