Students will explore measures of association used in epidemiology to quantify the relationship between exposure and outcome, such as relative risk, odds ratio, and attributable risk. The topic will include discussions on interpreting these measures and assessing causality.

They help judge whether an exposure increases or decreases disease risk. Relative Risk Risk ratio: the ratio of disease risk in the exposed group to that in the unexposed group. A value above one suggests increased risk, while below one suggests protecti...…
