Biomedical and public health sciences set forth to develop and test hypotheses pertaining to disease frequency, severity and prognosis, and their related determinants. Choosing an appropriate study design is critical to obtaining the correct information in order to conduct the specified hypothesis tests.
The objectives of this workshop are to (1) overview the basic features of major designs used in biomedical and public health research, (2) discuss major factors that influence the choice of study design, and (3) understand the strengths and limitations of their use in hypothesis testing.
