Statistics for Health Research
Starts 22 January 2007
This online statistics course is designed for busy health and social care
professionals who need to understand the basics of health statistics without
becoming statisticians. Students can study at the time of day and week that
is best for them. Online tutorial support is provided and concepts are
applied to real-life scenarios.
The course is designed around student-student and student-tutor
communication to ensure that students are able to develop a sense of an
online learning community to support and motivate them during the 10-week
course duration.
This course has been developed from face-to-face material used as part of
the University of Oxford MSc in Evidence Based Health Care. The online
development was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research
Council (BBSRC).
This course is divided into10 units. Each unit covers a different aspect of
statistics and statistical modelling. Individual units are built around
practical exercises and realistic case studies enabling students to apply
statistical knowledge in a health context.
Weekly study for each unit is self-paced using online resources. Movement
through the units is structured week by week to enable students to complete
sections at the same time as the rest of their course group.
After the course, participants should be able to:
· understand and manipulate basic mathematical and statistical
techniques as preparation for more specialized courses in health care
· understand the statistical issues in the planning and analysis of
research
· understand the basic statistical aspects of published research
Who is it for?
The course is aimed at anyone working in health and social care needing a
better understanding of the statistics that they encounter in their working
environment.
Applicants should have a basic knowledge of mathematics to AS level or have
obtained equivalent work-based exposure to mathematics.
