Epidemiologic research is often classified by disease, e.g. cancer epidemiology, but it can also be classified by exposure, e.g. genetic epidemiology or environmental epidemiology. Social epidemiology focuses on social determinants of disease, such as socioeconomic status or race/ethnicity.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
Identify key concepts in social epidemiology research;
Discuss concepts and measures for social class or social position, racial/ethnic discrimination (including racism), income distribution, and neighborhood environment;
Compare and contrast measurement methods used in social epidemiologic research; and
Place social epidemiologic research in the context of public health research.
It is strongly encouraged, although not required, that this class be taken concurrently with EPI 254 (Social Epidemiology: Methods, Measures, and Concepts). EPI 255 focuses on theoretical frameworks for understanding social inequalities in health, identifying the motivating questions, debates, and concepts in the field. EPI 254 provides a more applied perspective to addressing these debates, including covering methodology tools in community study designs, demography, psychometric research and measurement, and mixed-methods. Upon completion of these two classes, students will be able to place social epidemiological research in the context of public health as well as discuss leading methodologies in current social epidemiology.
