This is a lecture and discussion-based course where a range of topic areas in chronic disease epidemiology (e.g., heart disease, cancer) will be reviewed and discussed. Topics will most often focus on areas of recent interest or where significant differences of opinion related to scientific findings have existed. Substantial time will be devoted to reviewing publications to improve student skill in reading and interpreting epidemiologic literature published in this arena.
Open to junior and senior Public Health majors only. PUBHLTH 223 & 224 If the class and the Spire waitlist are full and/or you are unable to self-enroll in this course (for another reason), please complete this waitlist link: https://tinyurl.com/PHWaitlist-Electives
