Objective
The Quantitative Research Methods concentration prepares scholars to:
- Explain key epidemiologic and biostatistical concepts for specific study designs
- Determine what analytic techniques best fit the study design at hand and develop an analytic plan
- Identify potential areas for bias and variance within a study and propose methods for mitigating these concerns, both during the design phase and during post-hoc analyses
- Critically evaluate studies utilizing epidemiologic and biostatistical methods for strengths and weaknesses
- Interpret and communicate quantitative study results clearly to a broad variety of audiences
