Hi, all, and welcome to Module 11.
This module will wrap up our discussion
of effect modification
by looking at how this concept shows up
in the public health literature.
We spent whole modules
working on interpreting the literature,
because interpreting these studies
is such a key skill for you to have.
Working in public health, this is a lot of what we do.
We look at the new literature
and interpret it for a variety of audiences,
our bosses and coworkers, our friends and family,
and even the public.
Or we might need to evaluate
how it fits into the context of our own research.
It's so important to be able to correctly interpret things,
like confounding effect modification and bias,
so that you put out good information into the world
in regards to public health research.
Remember that the next exam is quickly approaching,
so think back on these concepts of bias,
confounding and effect modification, and figure out
where things might still be feeling a little bit muddy
especially in terms of interpreting the results
from the literature
or from your own SPSS modules in the labs.
Remember to reach out your classmates on Yellowdig, ISA,
or me to make sure that you're feeling confident
heading into the exam.
