I completed a Social Determinants of Health course, which taught me about the complex interplay between social factors and health outcomes. The course provided practical tools for identifying and addressing health inequities at all levels.
I learned statistical modeling and analysis in a Regression Analysis course. I used regression models to find and quantify correlations between variables, control for confounding factors, and make predictions in lectures, exercises, and projects.
Sample Size and Power Determination
This course taught me how to calculate sample sizes correctly. I calculated sample numbers for several study designs, accounted for variability and effect size, and optimized statistical power through lectures, exercises, and case studies.
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
I learned systematic review design, data analysis, and interpretation through lectures, exercises, and case studies. In my health disparities and chronic illness study, the course taught me how to perform rigorous and honest literature reviews.
Mediation and Moderation Analysis
This course gave me a thorough understanding of the principles and methods for examining the role of moderators and mediators in statistical relationships.
