Use of multiple exposure parameter and multiple response parameters

Course program

Target group

Researchers, PhD students and postdocs in the field of occupational exposure and health

Subject background

In order to elucidate the exposure-response relationships in the occupational health field, there is a need for more research that includes exposure and health effect measurements in the same study.

Thorough planning and use of appropriate statistical tools in such studies will contribute in bringing the field to the research front and have large impact on the working health. Courses in statistical tools are necessary to achieve this.
