Epidemiological methods are used to assess, describe, analyze, and make comparisons of populations to
inform evidence-based practices, policies, and interventions.

used, and the setting or situation (community, school, workplace, etc.) your study would look to address.
Consider the concepts of causal inference, measures of association, and study design.
