Learning outcomes
EPIDEMIOLOGY AND STATISTICS The course aims to provide knowledge and insights about the main techniques of descriptive and inferential statistics, epidemiological studies and related measures of frequency and association of diseases in order to critically evaluate scientific articles. The course also aims to provide theoretical and practical knowledge regarding social research methods, with an in-depth analysis of the questionnaire tool, and the use of information systems and databases in the organization. STATISTICS FOR EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH At the end of the course, the student must be able to: 1. Measure the prevalence and incidence of a disease 2. Evaluate the impact of risk factors on health, calculate the attributable risk and the relative risk ratio 3. Compare the mortality rate in populations with different age and gender through direct and indirect standardization 4. Identify the link between cause and effect from an epidemiological perspective 5. Describe the characteristics, indications, advantages and disadvantages of the main types of epidemiological studies (transversal, cohort, case-control) 6. Critically evaluate epidemiological articles. METHODOLOGY OF SOCIAL RESEARCH The course aims to increase the knowledge of social research methods, with particular reference to questionnaires as well as the theoretical and practical knowledge required to construct and manage a questionnaire in the health sector. MEDICAL STATISTICS AND EPIDEMIOLOGY The course aims to increase the knowledge of the analysis and interpretation of descriptive and inferential statistical procedures most commonly utilized in the scientific literature. COMPUTERIZED DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN ORGANIZATIONS The course aims to provide the most advanced knowledge on the methodology to develop information systems in the organization environment and carry out database design. A further aim is to implement a database through the use of a computerized data management system.
