HLSC 7112G - Advanced Research Design


This course will provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in the design, implementation and analysis of quantitative (epidemiological) studies. Students will gain advanced knowledge of randomized controlled designs (including factorial designs and cross over randomized controlled trials), cohort designs (including case-cohort design) and case-control designs (including case-crossover studies). Moreover, students will develop advanced skills to prevent, evaluate and control for biases in epidemiological designs. Finally, students will learn how to use statistical methods (stratification and multivariable linear, logistic and proportional hazard models) used to analyze the various study design. Learning methods will include classroom lectures and tutorials. Real-life epidemiological studies will be used to illustrate the strengths and limitations of the various study design.
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisite(s): At least one graduate course in biostatistics and one graduate course in introduction to epidemiology or quantitative research methods.
