Seminar "Measuring Health: Epidemiology and the Burden of Disease", Basel (CH)

The essence of epidemiology is to measure disease occurrence, pattern, causes and effects of health and disease conditions. Observations are carried out in defined populations which then can be compared with other target groups. The current seminar introduces the commonly used measures that help our understanding of the burden and distribution of disease and the measurement of disease outcomes in relation to a population at risk. This Seminar is designed to provide a forum for scientists, clinicians, and public and private health experts to exchange new ideas and to discuss problems and solutions to the current global health burden and challenges in the future.
