Welcome to INFO-498c, Population Health Metrics. This is a course at the University of Washington's Information School, and these materials were developed by Michael Freeman. The purpose of this course is to teach students the necessary technical skills asking sophisticated questions of public health data. While these resources are built for students currently enrolled in the course, they have been structured to be an online resource for anyone hoping to learn the software tools necessary for working with public health data.
For more foundational skills, please see the learning modules for INFO-201, Technical Foundations of Informatics

Given the ever-changing nature of the coding world, students will be responsible for independent learning, both in terms of managing their own pace, and seeking out new skills. These modules have been designed to provide an introduction to core concepts necessary for success in the course.
The organization of this course will evolve throughout the quarter. It is currently divided into:
- Labs: activities and resources for lab activities
- Demos: Demonstrations of concepts/skills for the course
As needed, these will be adapted.
If you would like to contribute to this repository by adding an exercise, making an edit, or suggesting a new module, please create an issue, or make the change in a fork of this repository and submit a pull request. I expect these resources to be continually improving.
