This course provides the student with an introduction to epidemiological and population health concepts important to the study of health and wellness in aggregate populations. Skills related to identifying key sources of data, epidemiological research and interpretation of bio statistical data are developed to enhance decision-making skills needed for program planning, evaluation, and practice scholarship.
