Presenter: Dr Thulani Ashcroft 

This session is about being able to think critically about epidemiological studies and show that in your writing. It requires an understanding of introductory epidemiological concepts. The workshop first takes you through three steps to consider when critically appraising a study and then provides examples of how you can show your appraisal skills and methods you can use to build an argument in your writing.
