This course is designed to introduce students to the concepts, technical components and quantitative methods for Burden of Disease measurement.\u00a0 This course focuses predominately on constructing aggregate measures such as, Years Life Lost (YLL), Years lived with Disability (YLD) and Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs).\u00a0 Furthermore, this course will discuss a range of measurement techniques that combine information on mortality and non-fatal health outcomes for a host of different diseases.\u00a0 This course will provide students with an understanding of the methodological and empirical basis for quantifying Burden of Disease estimates for national and global health priorities. Students will learn how to use sparse data covering mortality, morbidity, causes of death, individual health status, and condition-specific epidemiology to determine levels of health within different populations, particularly in developing countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Burden of Disease (GH590C) Course logistics: Professor:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mohsen Naghavi Credits:\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3 SLN:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 11571 Lectures:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 July 6-17; Monday \u2013 Friday Times: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 9:00 \u2013 5:00pm Location: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, 2301 Fifth Avenue, Suite 402, Seattle, WA, 98121 Course description: Burden of Disease is a cutting-edge measurement technique that allows health [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-courses-and-registration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5701"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5701\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5703,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5701\/revisions\/5703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/mswnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
