Name of Module: Epidemiology - I Course Convenor – Dr. A. Raghupathy, IIPHH

Semester I, includes 40 hours of teaching - four credits

I. Course overview:
This course introduces the student to the principles and basic methods of modem epidemiology.
Epidemiology is defined as the study distribution and determinants of health related states and events in
defined populations and the application of this to study to solving public health problems. Presentation of
epidemiologic data and basic measures of disease frequency are covered. Descriptive, analytical and
interventional study designs are discussed in context to the health system with their corresponding
analysis techniques. The concept of risk and its associated measures is also covered. It also covers the
estimation and interpretation of odds ratio, attributable risk and their confidence intervals.

II. Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
 To have a clear understanding of the definition and uses of epidemiology and appreciate its role
in public health
 To be able to identify the key sources of data and have the ability to draw appropriate inferences
from them.
 To understand the concept and practical application of various measures such as: measures of
disease frequency (prevalence and incidence), measures of effect (e.g. rate/risk ratios and rate/risk
differences), and measures of public health impact (e.g. population attributable risk / fraction)
 To know the various types of epidemiological study designs and, understand their basic principles
and the main analytic methods used in each specific design
 To understand the concepts of epidemics, endemics and pandemics with a knowledge of data
collecting techniques and analysis to be performed.
 Ascertain causality between an exposure and an outcome
