Regression Modeling for Public Health - Course Overview

This intro video only has audio (turn on CC to see text) and describes the design rationale of this course.  

The videos in these modules support a graduate course at Simon Fraser University entitled, "Regression Modeling for Public Health."  The course is a general practical introduction to using linear and logistic regression to model the association between a cause and effect.  The approach is hands on with only the theory necessary to support the practice.

The videos demonstrate the process of modeling cause and effect associations from theoretical conception to actual model estimation using both linear and logistic regression in the statistical program SAS.  As such, this course is generally appropriate for any beginning students of epidemiology. 

It might also be of interest to those who would like to see a demonstration of the theory and practice of observational empiricism (as opposed to experimental empiricism) in epidemiology.

The course assumes no background in the subject matter.
