Population Health Outcomes:
Interpreting Results for Better Science
During
this module, we have focused on the importance of understanding populations and
the factors affecting that population – from cultural to health disparities –
to improve health outcomes. We have also highlighted the importance of data in
guiding your approach. We have talked
about the theoretical constructs and practiced doing calculations by hand. Now, it is time to go deeper into the data
and to practice analyzing actual datasets.
