Profs. David Kleinbaim and Nancy Barker will present their online short
course “Bias in Epidemiological Research” Sept. 8 – Oct. 6 at
statistics.com. This course emphasizes the underlying concepts and methods
for addressing validity and bias issues in epidemiological research. Topics
covered in the course include: overview of validity and bias, selection
bias, information bias, and confounding bias. Participants should be
familiar with different types of studies (clinical trials, cohort studies,
case-control studies, and cross-sectional studies), and with measures of
disease frequency and effect.
David Kleinbaum, a professor at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public
Health, is internationally known for his textbooks in statistical and
epidemiologic methods and as an outstanding teacher. He is the author of
“Active Epi” and “Epidemiologic Research- Principles and Quantitative
Methods” and has also taught over 150 short courses over the past 30 years
throughout the world.
Nancy Barker is a consulting biostatistician and a co-author of the
“ActivEpi Companion Text,” and has over 10 years of experience teaching
short courses in epidemiology and biostatistics at Emory University and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As with all online courses at statistics.com, there are no set hours when
you must be online, and you can interact with the instructor over a period
of 4 weeks via a private discussion board. We estimate you will need about
7-15 hours per week.
