Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) Lunch and Learn Series: Study Designs: Case-control, Cross-sectional, and Ecological Studies

This introductory-level virtual session will provide an overview of the observational case-control, cross-sectional, and ecological study designs used in clinical and epidemiological research. Attendees will learn strengths and limitations of each design and potential application to their research interests.

This event is being cross-promoted by the NC BERD Consortium, a collaboration of the CTSA-funded BERD cores at UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and Duke University School of Medicine.

The NC TraCS Biostatistics Seminar Series is appropriate for those with a basic familiarity with statistics. These seminars introduce topics not often included in STATS 101.

In this seminar Jeff Laux, PhD, will discuss how variables can be selected for inclusion in statistical models.
