Its work encompasses the full breadth of epidemiology, including study design, measurement, data analysis, causal inference, evidence synthesis, surveillance, implementation and the translation of research into policy and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through collaboration, education and knowledge exchange, the Council aims to strengthen epidemiological capability, promote rigorous and inclusive research methods, support emerging researchers and encourage the application of high-quality evidence to improve population health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
