    Sampling is integral to epidemiologic study design, shaping analytic decisions, interpretation, and public health relevance of research findings. This initiative aims to establish the UCSF Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics as a knowledge hub for modern sampling methods to improve population science and health disparities research. 

    We will explore the theoretical and practical applications of modern sampling methods through four modules:

    1. Representative Sampling
    2. Hard-to-Reach Populations
    3. Population Size Estimation
    4. Internal/External Validity

  • Introduction to SKH Series

    Friday, September 25, 2020, 10 am - 11 am

    The UCSF Sampling Knowledge Hub is launching a series of events on real-world sampling problems and solutions. This kick-off event will give an overview of the series and discuss the relevance of sampling in the age of Big Data. Come ready to discuss sampling challenges you've encountered in your work and learn how we'll gain tools to address them over the course of the series!
