Epidemiology and risk analysis are both important to the practice of the One Health approach, and professional health science programs incorporate these topics to some degree in their curricula. Recognizing that a One Health approach is broad and includes many disciplines distinct from health sciences (such as economics, social sciences, law and policy and many others), this module is designed to introduce those with little or no background in epidemiology to the history, concepts, theories, terminology and practice of epidemiology to improve their ability to collaborate with epidemiologists. Key outcomes of this module are the abilities to:
• Define epidemiology and the basic terminology and concepts used in epidemiology.
• Explain critical components of the practice of epidemiology.
• Explain the major components in and the process of disease risk analysis, and how disease risk analysis links science to policy.
