About

Certificate Program in Demographic Methods

OVERVIEW

The certificate is designed to serve two audiences-master's or doctoral degree students at The Johns Hopkins University and interested professionals desiring to gain skills in applying demographic analytic methods to identify or forecast public health problems and evaluate the effectiveness of policies or interventions aimed at mitigating them. Demographic analytic methods are used to calculate denominators of health measures. They, along with epidemiology methods, are used to develop profiles of those at risk for health/disease conditions, evaluate health care interventions, forecast health resource needs, and inform health care policies and planning based on accurate projections of at-risk groups.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Students completing the certificate will gain competency in:

Knowledge of the comparative strengths and weaknesses of different methods of demographic analysis
Appropriate application of demographic methods to the analysis of a range of population and health issues
Critical evaluation of the public health implications of results from applications of different demographic and population analysis methods
