PH 45Introduction to Methods and Ethics in Public Health Research
This course will lay a foundation for understanding how to conduct research to answer questions about public health. It aims to teach students why research is done the way it is, what questions we can and can’t answer, and the methodological and ethical limits that must be considered along the way. Students will learn to think critically about the implications and limitations of existing research, and to form their own research questions about public health and the ways to investigate answers.
