Epidemiology for Nursing Students: Scope, Uses and Evolution, the Study Designs and the Bias That Distorts Them

An epidemiology module from a KMTC department of nursing that begins with the introduction, scope, uses and evolution of the discipline and the language of disease frequency and distribution. It then takes the design of a study - the characteristics of the exposure and disease, the state of knowledge on the hypothesis, the immediate goals, the research setting and the resources - and the biases that distort a result: selection bias from the way subjects are sampled, misclassification or information bias, and confounding. Each design is worked through with its advantages and disadvantages.
