-: 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 spend whole modules working on interpreting
the literature because being able to interpret a study
is a key skill for you to have.
Working in public health, this is a lot of what we do,
looking at the new literature and interpreting it
for a variety of audiences, our supervisors,
our friends and family, and 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're able to put out good information
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 see where things
might still be feeling a little muddy,
especially in terms of interpreting the results
from the literature or from your own SPSS output.
Remember to reach out to your classmates on Yellow Dig
or to me to make sure you're feeling confident
heading into the next exam.
