Excerpt
Introduction The main purpose of these exercises is to give practical examples of the use of the Epi Info' software packagc. They also provide reinforcement of epidemiological and statistical principles. It is assumed that students will have received at least an introductory teaching session on Epi Info, in particular the ANALYSIS section. It is also expected that students will have some basic knowledge of epidemiological concepts and methods. The instructors will have to judge, depending on the needs and prior knowledge of each group, the required amount of instruction necessary before attem-p tina- to work on these exercises. It is possible to follow these exercises using a self teaching approach, provided that the student has a basic knowledge of epidemiology. A combination of an epidemiology text and the Epi Info manual should b;sufficient,but access to an e ~ ~ e r i e n c eIndf~o u~sier and/or someone with experience in epidemiology would be advantageous.
