本課程主授疾病篩檢方法論與應用實務，以統計觀點切入，自研究設計著手探討篩檢計畫之評估方式，並討論篩檢敏感度、平均滯留期、篩檢偵測模式與疾病多階段模式於疾病篩檢之應用。 (The contents of the course put emphasis on both methodology and practice of disease screening based on statistical viewpoint. We begin with study design of evaluation of disease screening, and then impart how to build up temporal natural history model to estimate mean sojourn time and sensitivity both of which are responsible for evaluation of disease screening. We also make students understand the application of multi-state model to evaluation of disease screening.)

本課程旨於幫助學生了解疾病篩檢在公共衛生和醫學領域中重要性及其應用。課程中包含各疾病實例如: 癌症及COVID-19等應用，使學生可以透過非同步線上課程反覆學習消化課程內容。 The goal of this course is to help students comprehend the importance and applications of disease screening in public health and medicine. Screening for cancers and infectious diseases like COVID-19 would be covered through this non-synchronize online course that renders students feasible for the repeated excursions of the course to digest the contents.
