PPT-OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION Systematic(bias)error in epidemiological studies

Validity and testing for validity Reliability and testing for reliability Group task for today Bias is a systematic error in the design conduct or analysis of a study that results in errors when calculating measures of association between risk factors and outcomes. So sampling bias is consistent error that arises due to the sample selection For example a survey of high school students to measure teenage use of illegal drugs will be a biased sample because it does not include home schooled students or dropouts Osamu Tajima (KEK).
