Morbidity refers to the presence of a disease in a population. Epidemiologists are keen to study morbidity and how it affects the population by analyzing data and interpreting them accurately to stakeholders across private and public sectors. They compute for the frequency and burden of disease in a population by scrutinizing incidence rates and prevalence rates so that better interventions and health policies can be spurred into action.

In this course, I will be introducing you to these important epidemiologic measures, where data can be collected and gathered, as well as what to look out for when validating the legitimacy of the numbers. We will be looking at some real-world statistics and solve example practice problems so you can have a better grasp of the relationship of the variables that determine the burden of disease in a community.

Upon enrollment to the course all materials such as lecture videos, practice quizzes, and downloadable resources will always be available should you wish to go back to the material to study and review. You will also receive a Certificate of Completion which you can use to boost your resume, curriculum vitae, or LinkedIn profile.
