The different measurements included in the course are: therelative index of inequality and the concentration index, the principal component analysis appliedto socioeconomic status, the measurement of intersectionality, how to conduct a decompositionanalysis and propensity matching score. Further topic includes multilevel analysis andmethodological issues when carrying out life course studies.DEADLINE: 15 th of November, 2012

The challenge of developingand adapting scientific methods for the specific requirements of research between climate changeand health is the focus of this course. These challenges include techniques for attribution ofrisk/cause and effect, dealing with uncertainty and unusually large temporal and spatial scale,working with multi-sectorial datasets (e.g. meteorology, physical geography, agriculture andhealth) as well as using longitudinal data sets, both retrospectively and prospectively. The coursewill focus on a selection of research methods and will teach them to participants while at the sametime give a chance to apply some of them. Examples are taken from Sweden and from low andmiddle-income countries. It builds on an introductory course on climate change and health offeredat Umeå University or Heidelberg University or equivalent.DEADLINE: 15th of November, 2012
