Course Description:

'' Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of diseases (for example, infections) or conditions, such as toxicities, in populations. We designed this course, Epidemiology of Biological and Chemical Hazards I: Principles, to provide you with the concepts and methods of epidemiology, as they apply to surveillance and investigation of health-related conditions or events. A common logo for epidemiology is the silhouette of Sherlock Holmes, the master criminal detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a British physician. Just as criminal investigation seeks to detect the cause of a crime, epidemiology seeks to uncover the cause of medical conditions. Hence, if you like mystery, intrigue and discovery, you should enjoy this course in medical detection. And so, as Holmes would say, "Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot!"

The course consists of an introduction to epidemiology, surveillance for the detection of outbreaks, and outbreak investigation and control for infectious agents, toxins, and chemicals. You’ll be introduced to case studies drawn from actual outbreaks that illustrate these essential epidemiological methods and will gain a good understanding of how to solve case studies. In the next course in this series—Epidemiology of Biological and Chemical Hazards Mitigation II: Applications—you will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned by more active participation in case studies.
