课程名称:疫情暴发与流行病学 课程概述: 该课程旨在介绍流行病学调查的基本要素,供专业流行病学家在调查疫情和流行病时使用。学员将学习如何识别病原体、了解疫情情况、进行报告和应对。课程强调提出准确的流行病学问题和应用流行病学工具的重要性,从而揭示答案。此外,学员将了解基本的疫情动态及其增长的“可怕法则”,以及这些疫情为何会减退和消失。课程最后将深入探讨一些实际疫情案例,包括西非的埃博拉疫情和美国的阿片类药物危机。 课程大纲: 1. **识别与调查疫情:基础知识** - 描述:本模块讨论疫情的基本概念,从识别病原体到响应和报告疫情,将学习多个重要的流行病学概念。 2. **评估证据与确定原因** - 描述:学习如何提出精准的流行病学问题,并利用重要工具进行调查。 3. **可怕法则:基本疫情动态** - 描述:探讨导致疫情增长的基本动态,以及疫情为何最终减退和消失的原因。 4. **疫情与流行病案例研究:从埃博拉到药物过量** - 描述:深入分析包括西非埃博拉疫情和美国阿片类药物危机等多个实际疫情案例。
Name:Identifying and Investigating Outbreaks: The Basics
Description:In this module we're going to be talking about outbreaks. All the way through identifying the pathogens and figuring out what's going on to reporting and responding to the outbreak. In doing so we're going to learn several important epidemiological concepts.
Name:Weighing Evidence and Identifying Causes
Description:In this module, we'll be learning about how to ask precise epidemiologic questions and how to investigate these using important tools.
Name:The Terrible Law: Basic Epidemic Dynamics
Description:In this module, we'll be talking about basic epidemic dynamics and the terrible law that causes epidemics to grow, and the reasons why epidemics recede and eventually go away
Name:Case Studies in Outbreaks and Epidemics: From Ebola to Overdose
Description:In this module, we're going to take a deep dive in some outbreaks from Ebola, in West Africa, to the opioid epidemic in the United States.
Professional epidemiologists are often called on to investigate outbreaks and epidemics. This course serves as an introduction to the essentials of investigation, identifying pathogens, figuring out what's going on, reporting, and responding. You'll learn how to ask precise epidemiologic questions and apply epidemiologic tools to uncover the answers. You'll also learn about basic epidemic dynamics and the terrible law that cause them to grow, as well as the reasons why they recede and eventually go away. The course concludes with deep dives into some real outbreaks from Ebola, in West Africa, to the opioid epidemic in the United States.
