Public Schmublic

Cohort. Case control. Systematic review. Meta analyses. Positive predictive value. Specificity. Sensitivity. Randomized controlled trial. Forest Plot. Prevalence. Crude mortality rate. Confidence interval. P value. Confounders. Bias.

Now that’s public health and epidemiology studies. Three weeks of lectures and tutorials full of numbers and figures. ( music starts : Noooobody said it was eeeaaassaayyy)

I can’t for the life of me comprehend the amount of effort it takes to critically analyze a research paper. Oh so many numbers!

A 3500 essay needs to be finished by Thursday. Current word count stands at 1998.

Basically data needs to be analysed in each research paper chosen. Up to 15 references are allowed. I currently have 8.

Each research paper references other research papers. The more you delve in the more confusing it gets; a never-ending rabbit hole.

I keep finding more research within research.


RESEARCH WITHIN RESEARCH WITHIN RESEARCH......

Hang on.........
