Chapter 7: Analytic Epidemiology, Study Designs and Statistical Methods #publichealthresearch

This video covers Chapter 7 of Introduction to Epidemiology (8th Edition) by Ray M. Merrill.

In this chapter, we move from description to explanation, asking the questions “Why does this happen?” and “How is it caused?” Analytic epidemiology is used to test hypotheses, identify risk factors, and estimate the strength of associations.

Topics include:
• Purpose and importance of analytic epidemiology
• Observational vs. experimental studies
• Case-control and cohort study designs
• Odds ratio, risk ratio, and rate ratio explained
• Special designs: case-crossover and nested case-control
• Sources of bias in analytic studies
• What is confounding and how to control for it
