Hi everyone, I'm an MD and hopefully matching into ID fellowship in a few weeks. I'm very interested in applied epidemiology and want to go into EIS. I've read through the website. My question is do I still need an MPH to be competitive or would an ID fellowship (hopefully with a hospital epi concentration) be as good?

Hi! I’m an academic researcher in global health and I’m interested in health systems design with a particular focus on incorporating social determinants of health interventions into systems design. Are there others here with an interest in health systems broadly or specifically? Just trying to get a read on this type of work because I’m currently in infectious disease epi

Thank you!

I’ll be honest, I personally prefer STATA, only because it’s what I was first exposed and most experienced with….but I know R is just more universal. Is it worth me getting out of my comfort zone and learning R ?

Question: Why my blue line falls flat like that at the end?
Any help will be appreciated

Thank you!

any recommendations for learning more about sampling methods?

I have to take either one of these to graduate, what is more useful in the field?

I am looking at how I can scale my person-year event rate to be expressed per 1000 person-years

I have scaled the event rate by 1000 but then I'm not sure how I can place this on a forest plot with pooled outcomes

I have tried setting this up using meta set - declaring a generic precomputed effect size and calculating the SE - sqrt events/follow up time^2 for this purpose but the CI is negative which is not consistent with the event nature

Any ideas?

Hey everyone! I know it’s last minute, but does anyone by chance have a full pass or even a day pass for APHA 2024 in Minneapolis? I live here and just recently graduated, but I’m way too broke to afford it right now since I’m only an intern, lol. If anyone could bless me with a pass, I’d be super grateful. Let me know! 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Esse é meu primeiro post no reddit, estou querendo fazer alguns estudos epidemiológicos, então eu fiz esse post pois estou com muita dúvida em como realizar uma análise no Joinpoint Regression Program, se alguém puder me ajudar a localizar tutoriais, vídeo-aulas ou livros ensinando sobre como usar o programa eu agradeço demais!

ps: se for possível ser em português, seria ainda melhor!

I am currently finishing up my first semester of my Masters in general psych. I'm wanting to get a masters in epidemology when im done and focus on mental disorders. Im just not sure if I should finish this masters or just go ahead and switch programs. My bachelors is in psychology and I just want to make sure I'm not getting an extra masters without needing to.

Hi All,
I'm new to research and I'd like to know which quality appraisal tool works for descriptive cross-sectional studies. there are none in CASPs and just for analytical cross-sectional studies in JBI. I'm doing a systematic review in which most of my studies are cross-sectional with some cohort. HELP me, please!

TLDR: Are droplet-transported viruses actually airborne?

I know a nurse and doctor who claim masks aren't effective at all against viruses like COVID19, which the nurse claims is "airborne." I remember reading an article about this stating C19 is not an airborne virus, which I'm under the impression can survive in the air for a fairly long period in varying temperatures.

As far as masks go, I'm also under the impression a simple cloth mask or face covering would catch and absorb at least some droplets of infected airborne droplets, and prevent inhalation. But I know something like a K95 mask is best for preventing reception.

Just wanted to ask the sub and hear your input.

If H5N1 achieves human-to-human transmission akin to other flus, but the strain(s) turn out to also be only about the same severity as other flu subtypes, then would there be any special cause for concern about H5N1, beyond what we should have for other flu subtypes?

EDIT: To be clear, by "severity" I specifically mean how unpleasant the symptoms are, or how likely death is, in an individual infected person.
