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.
