Inhalt: Data is all around us and is used on a daily basis to inform decision making, from the advertisements that you see on social media, to laws passed by government. However, data are not always accurately portrayed. To be able to make correct inferences, it is important to understand the conditions of the study, how the data was collected, and how it was analyzed. In this seminar, you will gain valuable insights and practical experience designing and testing different study design approaches. This will allow you to distinguish between different methods of collecting data, understand how the parameters of the study affect the interpretation of the data, how to manage confounding factors and sampling biases, and finally how to create your own defensible study design. By the end of this seminar, you will have a greater appreciation for the power of a robust study design and be better equipped to understand how data is portrayed in the real world.
