advantage. The course is intended for people who are likely to work with
data in an epidemiological/health environment and are likely to be faced
with decisions on how data should be stored/manipulated. Some aspects of
the course may require basic mathematical/programming skills.

Microsoft Access 2000) to:
Design questionnaires and forms which are suitable for accurate data
capture;
Set up a new database including the design of tables;
Have some basic skills in querying data;
Design forms and reports based on one or many tables (includes subforms);
Use macros to automate complex database operation;
Elementary use of Visual Basic programming.
Teaching time: 12 hours. The course will be run as a series of short
lectures and practical exercises.
