Section outline

  • The first week of the course is dedicated to the overview of the course and epidemiological study designs (brief overview).

    The course overview covers the brief awareness on what is intended to be covered in the course over the next seven weeks, with objectives, learning modalities and assessment approaches.

    It is very crucial to overview epidemiological study designs since they are fundamental to ethics in a such way every researcher needs to know his/her study design, its methodological implications, advantages and disadvantages; and ethical implications that are totally different from design to another.

      By the end of this session, you will be able to describe the importance of study design in the protection of research participants. It is a brief review since students have already covered the epidemiological study designs during descriptive and analytical epidemiology.

      This is open for discussion, as if we are in class! Here are few questions that may guide our discussion:

      1. Looking at each epidemiological study design, what do you think would be the issues with protecting human beings participating in the research?
      2.  How do you think you should act towards protecting human beings taking part in research?

      In case you have other questions related to the study design and protecting human beings participating in research, please raise up your hands.

      Thanks
