Overview
Key Features
- Choosing an appropriate study design is a critical decision that can largely determine whether your study will successfully answer your research question. A quick look at the contents page of a biomedical journal or even at the health news section of a news website is enough to tell you that there are many different ways to conduct epidemiological research.
- The final module is dedicated to randomised controlled trials, which is often considered the optimal study design, especially in clinical research. You will also develop the skills to identify strengths and limitations of the various study designs. By the end of this Study Designs in Epidemiology course offered by Coursera in partnership with Imperial College London, you will be able to choose the most suitable study design considering the research question, the available time, and resources.
