About the Demographic Methods Certificate Program
The Demographic Methods certificate program is designed to serve two audiences—masters or doctoral degree students at the Johns Hopkins University and junior and mid-level 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.
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
