Dear Christine
Would you please share me your experience of using epidata for outbreak investigation.
Thanks Mohammed

Hello all/Bonjour à tous,
I'm testing latest EpiData Manager test version but my start is a bit problematic, because I can't save the epx file of my new project.
When I cliq on "Save project" or "Save project as", the following error message with a big "x" surrounded by a red circle is shown: Unable to create file "C:\folder\subfolder\filename.epx".
I work in Windows 7 (for Windows, of course). Can anybody has a solution to this very simple problem?
Best regards/Cordialement,
Réjean

Good to see that you are testing Rejean I would assume that the explanation could be, that the
Unable to create file "C:\folder\subfolder\filename.epx".
is due to problems with the folder names. Are you sure you that folder structure and also that you have write access to it if it exists.
Before you actually do the save, try to move to a folder, where you have proper rights, could be "documents" or desktop.

Hi Eric
it was good to see your post. I teach some short courses using Epidata to investigate outbreaks as part of an epi skills development programme offered by ESR (the New Zealand equivalent of CDC). These are short courses for public health field staff. I've also used Epidata as part of a mainly online MPH programme (although the course itself was face to face) in biosecurity for Drs and Vets from South Asia - again the focus has been outbreak detection so far. However we are looking at using Epidata as part of some ongoing project work e.g. knowledge attitude prevalence surveys. If you would like to talk some more about this maybe we could have a discusssion off line.
best wishes
Christine

Greetings from Burlington,
I am a new member of epidata-list, and I am keen to receive advice about incorporating training in EpiData Entry and Analyst in the MPH Program at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the Univ. of Toronto. I teach the course on Public Health Surveillance in the second term. This will be the second year that I oversee this course, and I would like to find some better way to integrate the lectures and the exercises, perhaps through EpiData training. I suspect that EpiData would be ideal for introducing the principles and basic skills required for CD outbreak detection and management. But I think it might also be useful for cluster investigation, socio-demographic profiles (e.g., recent immigrants in a PHU area) and monitoring behavioural RF over time.
Keen to hook up with epidata-list members who have some experience offering training in EpiData at the MPH level. Keen to find useful teaching exercises that are shareable, too.
Most grateful for any advice!
Sincerely,
Eric J. Holowaty,
Professor, Div. of Epidemiology,
Dalla Lana School of Public Health,
Univ. of Toronto.
