Introduction to R for Epidemiology - Session 2

Your support keeps training free for researchers and health workers everywhere, helping them conduct studies even in times of crisis. Please give what you can today to keep this vital learning open to all: https://hub.tghn.org/support-us/donate/

R is an open-source statistical software and is a powerful tool for data analysis. The Global Health Network (TGHN), in collaboration with HDR Global, icddr,b, Fiocruz, and Africa CDC aims to make R training more accessible and tailored to the broader communities of practice in the Global South. The first sessions of the training was delivered to members of The Global Health Network (THGN) Asia and local collaborators.

Participants had the opportunity to connect with data experts at icddr,b with specific queries. Data Clinics are held periodically after the Data Club sessions for participants to ask questions related to their own data/analyses.
