CADC Measurement and Methods Core Seminars
The Measurement and Methods Core (MMC) provides training in the specialized methods and measurement
issues needed to conduct research relevant to minority aging to CADC scholars and other UCSF investigators.
The training provided to CADC scholars complements the Investigator Development Core. Methodological
training is provided through formal courses and lectures, methods seminars and Workshops delivered to UCSF
investigators at a variety of campus locations (MMC Seminars; MMC Workshops), as well as presentations
and workshops at professional meetings. Formal courses include Research in Health Disparities (EPI 222),
co-taught by MMC faculty, led by Dr. Pérez-Stable; Measurement in Clinical Research (EPI 225) taught
regularly by Dr. Stewart; and a new social epidemiology course created by Dr. Yen, which features
race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and childhood and life course exposures. The following list summarizes
the training provided by the MMC during the funding cycle 2007 – 2011.
