Confounded by confounders? Incensed by incidence rates? This session will provide an overview and introduction to epidemiology with practical examples for Australian health professionals and researchers.

Epidemiology is the science and practice that describes and explains patterns of disease in populations. The information gained through epidemiological study of disease can help to prevent and control disease, and ultimately improve health. 

This session has been designed for health professionals and researchers who would like to become more familiar with epidemiological principles, how to design and interpret epidemiological studies, or who want to be able to critically appraise epidemiological studies.

During this session we will cover:

• General epidemiological principles and terminology
• Types of epidemiological studies
• Bias and confounding
• Critical appraisal of epidemiological studies
