-: Hi, everyone, and welcome to Module 14.
In this module,
we're going to look at applying our epidemiologic methods
in a different way.
Up to this point, we've learned our epi methods
in the context of the etiology of disease, or causation,
or risk factors for disease,
but there is a whole field that looks at applying
these same epi methods and study designs,
but for interventions and for evidence-based health policy.
Some of you may be really interested in this
for your future public health careers.
We're also going to take a look
at ethics in public health research,
and the ethics of performing epidemiologic research
in populations.
This is a really critical topic,
and I encourage you to use Yellowdig
to discuss some of the nuances.
The material in this module
will be assessed by our last quiz,
and you are also working on
your final projects in your groups.
If you have any questions on the content or logistics,
please don't hesitate to reach out.
Take care.
