Excelsior College Public Health Epidemiological Data Questions

Before beginning this activity, review the Module Notes and readings on estimating disease risk (you may want to review the study designs in the previous module as well).

Now that you have learned about the major study designs and how to estimate risk, you are ready to combine this information into estimation and interpretation of epidemiologic data. This assignment builds upon the examples in your previously completed study designs assignment. As you work through each question, remember that the design dictates the appropriate measure of effect to be calculated.

In a MS Word or similar document, with each question numbered, respond to each of the questions below. Be sure to show all of your math. Use standard mathematical operators: divide (/), multiply (x), add (+), and subtract (-), and include parentheses to show the order of operations where necessary.
