# Epidemiology Guide A skill for designing and analyzing epidemiological studies. Covers study design selection, measures of disease frequency and association, bias assessment, and public health data analysis methods. ## Study Design Selection ### Design Hierarchy ``` Evidence Strength | Systematic Review / Meta-Analysis (Highest) | Randomized Controlled Trial | Cohort Study (Prospective) | Case-Control Study | Cross-Sectional Study | Case Report / Case Series (Lowest) ``` ### When to Use Each Design | Design | Research Question | Time | Cost | Bias Risk | |--------|------------------|------|------|-----------| | RCT | Does intervention X prevent outcome Y? | Years | Very high | Lowest | | Prospective Cohort | Does exposure X increase risk of Y? | Years | High | Moderate | | Retrospective Cohort | Historical exposure-outcome relationship? | Months | Moderate | Moderate-High | | Case-Control | What exposures are associated with rare disease? | Months | Low | High | | Cross-Sectional | What is the prevalence of X? | Weeks | Low | High | | Ecological | Do population-level factors correlate with disease? | Weeks | Very low | Very high | ## Measures of Disease Frequency ```python import

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill epidemiology-guide --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
