>Tutorial: Introduction to Epidemiological Studies
>
>
>THEME: This tutorial will introduce participants to the language,
>concepts and methods of epidemiology, with the objective of allowing
>mathematicians to communicate with epidemiologists, to understand
>important open questions and difficult technical problems in
>epidemiology, and to stimulate their own ideas about how areas of
>mathematics that have to this point not been applied to epidemiology
>might be brought to bear. The emphasis will include but not emphasize
>statistics as an application except as an illustration of the field as
>it is today. It will be accessible to mathematicians of all
>specialties.
>
>
>Special tutorial material will be developed specifically to introduce
>mathematicians to the terminology and concepts used by epidemiologists
>to investigate patterns of disease occurrence in populations.
>Emphasized will be the types of study designs, measures of association
>and types of systematic and random error that concern current
>epidemiological practice. Open questions and practical problems that
>currently do not have good solutions will also be emphasized.
