Project Overview
This project aims to develop web-based teaching
tools to strengthen translation of new scientific developments to patient
populations and to the community at large. The exercises in this course
are designed to assist users with the following learning objectives:
- Identify the major types of epidemiologic study and their major strengths
and weaknesses.
- Identify the basic health performance measures used in epidemiology.
- Apply the inter-relationships of study design, measurement, and inference.
- Know how to form a hypothesis and develop a study protocol.
- Critically evaluate other research.
Course Structure
CLIO is designed to teach epidemiology interactively by walking the learner
through the steps of developing an actual study protocol for a topic of
their own choosing. The study protocol approach is comprised of a number
of learning modules, each representing specific elements of a research plan.
Each element consists of four increasingly interactive teaching activities:
- Explanation of the concepts
- Examples of how the concepts apply to real studies
- Exercises and self-assessments in applying the
material
- Experience applying the material to the user's
personal study topic.
