Epidemiology is the study of factors that impact on the occurrence and outcome of diseases in human populations. In contrast to clinical trials, epidemiological studies are generally observational in nature. In an observational study the role of the investigator is passive: they observe the individuals and collect relevant data, but do not influence the course of events. This course will provide an introduction to statistical methods appropriate for these types of studies.
