In partnership with the NIH Clinical Center's Biostatistics and Clinical Epidemiology Service (BCES), the NIH Library is offering classes geared to cover general concepts behind statistics and epidemiology. This five-part lecture series will help participants better understand statistical and epidemiological features in biomedical research, interpret results and findings, design and prepare studies, and understand/critically review the results in published literature.
Part 2 will provide a review of study designs in biomedical research. This class will cover details related to case studies/series, ecological, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies, clinical trials, and other study designs and considerations. During the class, time will be devoted to questions from attendees and references will be provided for in-depth self-study.
Although you may attend any part of this series by itself, attending all five parts will provide a more comprehensive review of important statistical and epidemiological considerations that build on each other. You must register separately for each part of this class series.
