This graduate-level course in Health Sciences equips students with the statistical foundations essential for advancing scholarly inquiry and evidence-based practice in health and human services. Grounded in the belief that professional practice must be informed by scientific research, the course emphasizes translating complex scientific questions into testable hypotheses, developing structured analysis plans, and applying appropriate statistical methods. Students will critically interpret and evaluate published literature, with particular attention to the quantitative basis of health research. While selected univariate and bivariate parametric techniques are introduced, the primary focus is on multivariate statistical analyses, preparing students to assess research involving multiple variables and to evaluate the significance and impact of public health and health-related interventions.
