Research Methods in Public Health (PH-0211)

Spring 2027 · PH 0211 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

Research Methods in Public Health is designed to acquaint public health students with the process of conducting public health research. The major objective of the course is to understand the nuts and bolts of conducting public health inquiry and research, emphasizing qualitative, community-engaged, and quantitative methods and use of a geographic information system (GIS) relevant to research. We will build on the concepts learned in the introductory courses of biostatistics, epidemiology, and other related courses to address biomedical and public health issues through rigorous research and evaluation methods. The course is intended to be a survey course of some of the major issues and tasks involved with conducting public health research. Emphasis is placed on identifying which methods are most appropriate for answering a specific research question and on preparing students for doing independent work in their Integrative Learning Experience.
