About

Here we have collected R case studies and walk-throughs so that you can practice and expand your R skills.

You can access them by simply creating a free Applied Epi account and clicking the appropriate link below. You will need to have R installed to follow the case studies.

Target audience

Public health practitioners, epidemiologists, clinicians, and researchers who already have a basic competency in R who want additional practice or exposure to new uses of R in public health.

All of our training materials focus on challenges and solutions for frontline practitioners and are built or curated by our team with extensive ground-level experience. Read more about our educational approach

Origins

These case studies are all either built by our team, or are open-access tutorials that have been translated by our team into R from another language (e.g. from Stata or SAS). Individual credits are provided in the case studies.

Our partners

To curate this collection of case studies, we hav partnered with the EPIET Alumni Network, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) / Doctors without Borders and TEPHINET.
