COURSE DESCRIPTION
Modern multivariable statistical analysis based on the concept of generalized linear models which includes linear, logistic, and Poisson regression, survival analysis, fixed-effects analysis of variance and repeated measures analysis of variance. This course emphasizes the underlying similarity of these methods, the choice of the right method for specific problems, common aspects of model construction, the testing of model assumptions through influence and residual analyses, and the use of graphical and other methods to present results that are readily understood by health researchers. This is a second course in biostatistics, covering multi-predictor methods, including exploratory data analysis and multiple regressions (linear and logistic). The third course (KUI: 77814) will cover more details on categorical data (logistic and log linear modeling) and survival analysis (time to event issues). Emphasis is on the practical and proper use of statistical methodology and its interpretation. The statistics package STATA will be used throughout the course. Student interests on analyzing a big data set (i.e. IDHS or SUSENAS) they are suggested to take fourth course (KUI: 77815).
GOALS AND COURSE OBJECTIVES
The goal of this course is providing knowledge and skill of the students for analyzing of data using a multivariable technique. At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- compare the roles of descriptive versus inferential statistics,
- assess characteristics of the problem to help choose the appropriate analytic technique,
- compare techniques appropriate for handling a single outcome variable and multiple predictors,
- evaluate data limitations and their consequences, and
- evaluate the results of analysis of data using a multivariable or multi-predictors.
Course Description and Prerequisites:
Epidemics of infectious diseases have been documented throughout history. The morbidity and mortality of infectious diseases profoundly shaped politics, commerce, and culture. Studies of the epidemiology of infectious diseases include evaluation of the factors leading to infection by an organism, factors affecting the transmission of an organism, and those associated with clinically recognizable disease among those who are infected. Many epidemiologic concepts were originally developed in studies of infectious diseases.
The present course covers application of epidemiologic procedures to the understanding of the occurrence and control of conditions infections, such as STD, HIV/AIDS, SARS, avian flu and other infectious diseases. A prerequisite course in biostatistics and an epidemiology method are mandatory.
Expected Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, each student should possess the following areas of subject mastery:
- Appraise of theory and application of epidemiologic methods for infectious diseases epidemic.
- Evaluate the global burden and challenges of infectious disease Epidemiology.
- Appraise the factors leading to infection by an organism, factors affecting the transmission of an organism, and those associated with clinically recognizable disease among those who are infected.
- Formulate the framework of control, treatment, and prevention of epidemic of selected infectious diseases, such as: malaria, tuberculosis, SARS, Influenza, HIV/AIDS and STD.
- Evaluate health interventions which are cost-effective for the prevention of infectious disease morbidity and mortality, such as effective sexually transmitted disease (STD) treatment and oral rehydration therapy for diarrhea.
- Appraise the chemotherapy and chemoprophylaxis of infectious diseases, such as malaria and antibiotic prophylaxis for the prevention of post-surgical infections.

Description:
Organizations must have a grounded starting point to effectively accomplish their missions. A strategic plan is a vital tool and an important process that helps an organization reach its goals and achieve success. The course is also to demonstrate the importance of program evaluation with regard to the development of population and family health interventions, such as HIV prevention and treatment. The purpose of this course is to provide learners with the fundamentals of building a successful strategic plan for operating a support organization for population and health advocacy, prevention and intervention. The course will also cover the fundamentals of a successful evaluation to improve the quality of the services. This course presents information for preparing strategic plan for people with varying levels of experience in strategic planning. In addition, this course also to assist program planners in building an effective evaluation component within the program to ensure ongoing capacity building and success. There is no course requirement but Population and Family Health I (KUI: 673).

Goals:
The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to the concepts and methods used in sexual and reproductive health research and to equip students with the principles, methods and research skills necessary to conduct policy or program-relevant research. It provides a non-clinical foundation in the main aspects of sexual and reproductive health, including family planning, obstetric health, abortion, adolescent health problem, sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV-AIDS. The course is designed mainly for those interested in the developing world but developed world issues are also accommodated. The course explores also the application of human rights perspectives and practices to issues arising around sexuality and reproduction, with a focus on health as a site of key interventions for sexual and reproductive rights.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the course, students will able to:
- Discuss basic concepts and current challenges of sexual and reproductive health issues related to National Development Plan and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);
- Appraise the intersection of theory and practice in sexual and reproductive health for the national policy and program;
- Explain the intersection and relationship of sexual and reproductive health, humanitarianism, relief, and development via state and non-state actors (specifically NGOs) in the context of global population health;
- Appraise existing evidence of the academic literature covering sexual and reproductive health interventions in complex emergencies;
- Demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of evidence-based approaches to research of sexual and reproductive health issues;
- Assess and apply these research approaches to inform development, health and social welfare programs;
- Identify and address appropriate research questions in sexual and reproductive health, using methods from a range of public health disciplines;
- Appraise research report or publication to identify effective components of sexual and reproductive health services within Indonesia’s health programs.
- Demonstrate a good understanding of the socio-cultural, political and ethical issues surrounding sexual and reproductive health;
Course Description:
