Hi, everyone, and welcome to Module 7.
You've made it about halfway through the content of Epi 2.
In the last module, we reintroduced confounding.
In this module, we're going to build on that discussion
and start talking about the ways we control for confounding.
In this module, we talk about controlling
for confounding using multiple linear regression.
This is an advanced statistical technique
that allows you to control
for multiple confounders simultaneously.
To get to multiple linear regression, we first need to learn
about simple linear regression and correlation,
which is where this module starts.
There is a lot of information in this module.
There's a lot to read and a lot to absorb,
so please give yourself plenty of time to do this module.
This is not one that you want to wait
for the last minute to get started on.
You'll also be learning how to apply these techniques
possibly for the first time in SPSS,
so again, give yourself some time to learn
and please reach out with questions.
Take care.
