400022 International Summer School "Burden of Infectious Diseases" (BS) (SoSe 2014)

The International Summer School Programme Infectious Disease Epidemiology (IDE) focusses on statistical and epidemiological methods for controlling predominant health problems of the 21st century. Among the structural determinants of infectious diseases are population growth, mobility, urbanization, poverty, climate and environmental change and insufficient health care systems, which will deteriorate further with the financial crisis, political unrest and unforeseen weather events, in many parts of the world. The course will teach specific statistical methods in order to detect, and adequately respond to global and local health problems, e.g. in megacities.

The IDE course will provide a deep understanding of the special IDE concepts and methods. The participants will be enabled to manage an outbreak, to correctly create and interpret surveillance data, and to perform simple mathematical modelling for the spread of IDs as well as to use basic health economic evaluations. In addition they will know how to apply the learned concepts and methods to actual global and local public health challenges.
The International Summer School Infectious Disease Epidemiology is combined with the Summer School “Climate change and spatial epidemiology: Concepts, Modelling, Strategies”.
