課程概述

流行病學為公衛研究的基礎工具,流行病學知識也是制訂衛生政策最重要的依據。社會流行病學旨在分析疾病問題的「社會致病成因」(social determents of health),試圖結合實證研究,以改善「健康不平等」(social inequalities in health)問題。此課程介紹社會流行病學的基礎原理,包括發展歷程、研究設計與測量、社會致病成因之內容,以及統計分析方法。本課程並希望提升學生閱讀與批判社會流行病學實證論文之能力。 

課程目標
學生在修習完此課程後,將可以具備以下能力:
1.瞭解社會流行病學的歷史緣起、發展過程、原理原則、相關爭議與政策應用
2.瞭解社會流行病學之研究設計與測量方法
3.瞭解社會流行病之統計分析方法
4.具備分析批判社會流行病學實證論文之能力
