  1. Overview
  This course is designed to help students develop their abilities to identify gaps in knowledge
  and the need to match them with the appropriate epidemiological tools. Focus will be in the
  design and interpretation of populational longitudinal studies for evaluation of intervention
  effectiveness, collecting either observation or intervention data, from a wide range of less-than-
  ideal settings.
  2. Course structure
  Six half-day intensive training consisting of formal didactic lectures both in-person and at
  distance that are particularly relevant for the design and interpretation of epidemiologic studies
  to evaluate intervention effectiveness. Course material provided: PDF of the lectures and
  suggested reading.
