• Describe key features and applications of descriptive and analytic epidemiology.
• Calculate and interpret ratios, proportions, incidence rates, mortality rates, prevalence, and years of potential life lost.
• Calculate and interpret mean, median, mode, ranges, variance, standard deviation, and confidence interval.
• Prepare and apply tables, graphs, and charts such as arithmetic-scale line, scatter diagram, pie chart, and box plot.
• Describe the processes, uses, and evaluation of public health surveillance.
• Describe the steps of an outbreak investigation.

General Instructions
Self-study courses are “self-paced.” We recommend that a lesson be completed within two weeks. To get the most out of this course, establish a regular time and method of study. Research has shown that these factors greatly influence learning ability.

Each lesson in the course consists of reading, exercises, and a self-assessment quiz.

Reading Assignments
Complete the assigned reading before attempting to answer the self-assessment questions. Read thoroughly and re-read for understanding as necessary. A casual reading may result in missing useful information which supports main themes. Assignments are designed to cover one or two major subject areas. However, as you progress, it is often necessary to combine previous learning to accomplish new skills. A review of previous lessons may be necessary. Frequent visits to the Glossary may also be are included within each lesson to help you apply the lesson content. Some exercises may be more applicable to your workplace and background than others. You should review the answers to all exercises since the answers are very detailed. Answers to the exercises can be found at the end of each lesson. Your answers to these exercises are valuable study guides for the final examination.

Self-Assessment Quizzes
After completing the reading assignment, answer the self-assessment quizzes before continuing to the next lesson. Answers to the quizzes can be found at the end of the lesson. After passing all six lesson quizzes, you should be prepared for the final examination.
• Self-assessment quizzes are open book.
• Unless otherwise noted, choose ALL CORRECT answers.
• Do not guess at the answer.
• You should score at least 70% correct before continuing to the next lesson.

Tips for Answering Questions
• Carefully read the question. Note that it may ask, “Which is CORRECT?” as well as “Which is NOT CORRECT?” or “Which is the EXCEPTION?”
• Read all the choices given. One choice may be a correct statement, but another choice may be more nearly correct or complete for the question that is
