課程概述 Course Description
主要目標在訓練學生使用科學方法對人群健康進行研究。先從科學方法的哲學基礎『猜測與否證』講起，談到科學性假說之形成、因果關係之判定，測量之基本原理。逐步進入流行病學之基本測量、率比與率差，生活品質之測量方法，健康照護服務效果評估，研究設計，率之標準化，抽樣原理；然後再談追蹤研究法及個案對照研究法。然後再談如何閱讀及批評一篇研究論文﹔最後再談衛生政策與風險評估研究法。近年來流行病學方法在計量健康效用(utility)上有大進展，直接可被用於醫療及衛生決策與成本效用分析；這是一般流行病學書上尚未寫到，但本課會有簡單介紹其觀念與研究方法。課程學習目標 Course Objectives
