Objectives:

• To describe the main purpose of Epi Info.

• To name at least three major tasks associated with epidemiologic research for which Epi Info is particularly well-suited.

Introduction:

Epi Info is a software available free online (via downloading) from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This program initially was DOS-based; a Windows version is now available. Both, the DOS-version and Windows-versions are friendly use. In this module we will direct you to all the possible options of Epi Info tutorials free online.

This project is a joint effort of the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine
and the United States Centers for Disease Control. It is an approved APEC project.
