This topic will cover various measures of association used in epidemiology, such as relative risk, odds ratio, and attributable risk. Students will learn how to calculate and interpret these measures to assess the relationship between exposures and outcomes in community health studies.

They help determine whether and how strongly a factor relates to disease. Risk-Based Measures Relative risk (risk ratio): ratio of disease risk in exposed versus unexposed groups, used in cohort studies. Risk difference: absolute difference in risk between groups,...…
