Omschrijving	This course builds up on the previous learning of the basic principles of epidemiology and statistics and engages the students in an epidemiological project from start to end. The course is project-driven and the students will work on an ecological analysis initially in small groups (leading to a group poster presentation) and subsequently the analysis will be divided into different sub-projects and carried out individually for preparing the written assignment. This approach will enable the students to experience in first person all the stages of carrying out a research project, experiencing the production of scientific evidence. Lectures will introduce the students to advanced epidemiological and statistical methods (e.g. the meaningful use of graphs, or the concept of effect modification); in parallel, they will be given the opportunity to work on their own projects applying what they are learning week by week.
