About the course
The course provides knowledge about different methods that can be used to describe, analyse and understand how medicines are prescribed and used in society. The course consists of lectures and seminars about quantitative and qualitative study designs, how to collect and analyse data from surveys and registers as well as research ethics. Recently published drug utilisation studies are discussed from different perspectives. There is also a group project in which the students will design, carry out and present a scientific study.
