4 units · PH · UC San Diego

This course covers study designs to iteratively optimize and evaluate public health programs such as a proof-of-concept trial, randomized controlled trial, sequential multiple assignment randomized trial, factorial screening trial, microrandomized trial, stepped wedge trial, single case experiments, and nonrandomized study designs. The course includes a philosophical grounding on why evidence is important and what underlying assumptions undergird “evidence-based practice.”
