Professor David Cutler created this collection of videos, introducing basic concepts in epidemiology, economics and statistics, to augment his undergraduate Gen Ed course, "EMR20: Why is There No Cure for Health Care?" Concept sketches, prototypes, and videos were produced during Cutler's collaborative residency at the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator (GHELI).
- Video Add to Sketchpad Multimedia, Teaching Resource 2018 EMR20: What is an Epidemic? In the first of two videos on basic epidemiology, Professor David Cutler asks, how do … In the first of two videos on basic epidemiology, Professor David Cutler asks, how do we define epidemics and how do we measure them? He defines and differentiates incidence and prevalence and explains how these metrics relate to duration of a disease. Using HIV infection as the illustrative example, he explains how treatment has resulted in a reduction in mortality rates, and therefore an increase in prevalence, despite declining incidence. These basic concepts set the… Global | Health Outcomes | Evidence Synthesis | Infectious Diseases | Health/Medicine | North America | High School | College | Graduate | Critical Thinking/Analysis | Quantitative Literacy
- Video Add to Sketchpad Multimedia, Teaching Resource 2018 EMR20: Dynamics of an Epidemic In the second of two videos on basic epidemiology,Professor David Cutlertalks about the dynamics of … In the second of two videos on basic epidemiology,Professor David Cutlertalks about the dynamics of an epidemic. He asks, how do we understand when an infection is going to become an epidemic? How can we predict when it will not? He defines an index case and discusses the properties of transmission and people’s interconnectivity, fundamental drivers of epidemics. He uses a visual schematic to differentiate three groups in the population (e.g., susceptible, infected, and removed… Global | Health Outcomes | Evidence Synthesis | Infectious Diseases | Health/Medicine | North America | High School | College | Graduate | Critical Thinking/Analysis | Quantitative Literacy
- Video Add to Sketchpad Multimedia, Teaching Resource 2018 EMR20: The Economics of Pharmaceuticals, Part 1 In the first of two videos on the economics of the pharmaceutical industry, Professor David … In the first of two videos on the economics of the pharmaceutical industry, Professor David Cutler asks students to consider the types of prices that pharmaceutical companies set for their medications, the implications of higher and lower prices, and how to think about this in a global society. He explains basic economic concepts (e.g., demand, supply, marginal cost, willingness to pay, etc.) in an accessible manner using two simple examples. The first case focuses on… Global | Costing Methods | Benefit-Cost Analysis | Cost-Effectiveness Analysis | Infectious Diseases | Chronic Disease/Risk | Policy/Regulation | Business/Industry | Economics/Finance | Science/Technology | North America | High School | College | Graduate | Critical Thinking/Analysis | Quantitative Literacy

Relationship between Two Variables In this first of three videos onbasic statistical analysis, Professor David Cutler discusses the relationship … In this first of three videos onbasic statistical analysis, Professor David Cutler discusses the relationship between two variablesusing data from a national survey on education and self-reported health. He walks students through the steps of a regression analysis, and the conceptual and mathematical foundation of estimating a regression line. At the conclusion, he reviews the interpretation of the stylized analysis. The second and third videos in this collection, shown below, address how to assess the… Global | Health Outcomes | Evidence Synthesis | Social Determinants | Health/Medicine | North America | High School | College | Graduate | Quantitative Literacy
- Video Add to Sketchpad Multimedia, Teaching Resource 2018 EMR20: Statistical Analysis, Part 2. Is the Relationship Important? In the second of three videos on basic statistical analysis, Professor David Cutler, moves beyond … In the second of three videos on basic statistical analysis, Professor David Cutler, moves beyond summarizing the relationship between two variables to asking if this relationship is "important?" He discussed two dimensions of "importance", the first addressing the substantive question about whether the magnitude of the relationship is meaningful enough or big enough to be important. This second addresses the statistical relationship between the variables and makes up the bulk of the video. In other… Global | Health Outcomes | Evidence Synthesis | Social Determinants | Health/Medicine | North America
