EPID 5312 Survey Research & Questionnaire Design

3 SCH. Creating a survey instrument is a multistep process. If executed properly, the instrument will produce valuable information; otherwise, a poorly designed survey produces little information of meaning and is a waste of time. This introductory course provides the student with a foundation of theoretical research and survey concepts and practical implementation and analytical skills. This comprehensive course teaches the theory and applications of survey methodology in the guise of a structured research
project; from the conception of the research question to a presentation of collected data and drawing of corresponding conclusions. This introductory course is designed for epidemiology and other public health students requiring a basic knowledge research survey and questionnaire design, implementation, and analysis. This course will include lectures, in-class assignments, a group project, class discussion, oral and written presentations, and readings.
Prerequisite: Students must complete EPID 5310, EPID 5313, and BIOS 5310 or permission by instructor.
