Target Audience

People interested in public health, especially those wanting to acquire the skills needed to be involved in the scientific field of screening.

No background expertise is required.

Overview

Current and future public health is characterized by the increase of chronic and degenerative diseases, corresponding to the worldwide ageing of the population. The increasing prevalence of these conditions together with the long incubation period of the chronic diseases and the continual technological innovations, offer new opportunities to develop strategies for early diagnosis.

By helping early detection of risk factors, screening can be very beneficial for public health. However, Public Health has an important mandate to critically assess the promises and the pitfalls of disease screening strategies.
