Central to these skills is assessing the impact of chance and variability on the interpretation of research findings and subsequent recommendations for public health practice and policy and secondary data analysis. Topics covered include: descriptive analytic methods, general principles of study design; hypothesis testing; measures of validity and reliability, review of methods for comparison of discrete and continuous data including ANOVA, t-test, correlation, and regression.
