Sampling is integral to epidemiologic study design, shaping analytic decisions, interpretation, and public health relevance of research findings. This initiative (completed in 2020-2021) aimed to establish the UCSF Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics as a knowledge hub for modern sampling methods to improve population science and health disparities research.
We explored the theoretical and practical applications of modern sampling methods through four modules:
- Representative Sampling
- Hard-to-Reach Populations
- Population Size Estimation
- Internal/External Validity
The series included lectures from guest experts, journal club discussions, and hands-on data analysis labs.
We hope you’ll join us in learning more about sampling methodology!
