And understanding of the concept and mechanisms underlying the transmission of the diseases and how it is critical to prevent and control many infectious diseases Then we are going to discuss morbidity and how measures of morbidity are used in both clinical medicine and public health , also we are going to cover methodology and approaches to using mortality data in investigations Then we will learn how to describe morbidity and mortality in quantitative terms , we then turn to the question of how to assess the quality of diagnostic and screening tests that are used to determine which people in the population have a certain disease Module ( 3 ) present the R-C-T an invaluable and critical study design that is generally considered the “ gold standard “ for evaluating both efficacy and the potential side effect of new therapeutic or preventative intervention In module (4 ) we will discusses the basic study designs that are used in etiologic studies and describe how the findings from such studies maybe used to estimate the risks of disease associated with specific exposures Finally ,we will move From Association to causation: Deriving inferences from epidemiologic studies , we will also cover Confounding Bias Chance (random error.
