www.thelancet.com/series-do/ep...

Goes deeper into sample size, controls, likelihood ratios, and multiplicity in trials.

Epidemiology 2002 Increasing demands on the time of clinicians today reduce their opportunities to stay abreast of medical literature, and many report that they cannot read the literature critically. Information on res...

3. The Lancet’s Epidemiology Series 2002
www.thelancet.com/series-do/ep...

Introduces study designs, bias, cohort & case-control studies, randomisation, blinding, and screening.

www.bmj.com/specialties/...

Short explainers on P values from confidence intervals, bootstrap methods, odds ratios, sampling error, and more.

1. Statistics at Square One – BMJOpen
www.bmj.com/about-bmj/re...

Covers the basics: data display, confidence intervals, t-tests, chi-squared tests, regression, survival analysis, and study design.

These are great for teaching, refreshing your memory, or sharing with colleagues new to statistical and epidemiological methods.

Do you know of other similar resources worth adding to this list?

I’ve found these really useful resources for clear, accessible explanations of core statistics and epidemiology methods and concepts. These are great for teaching, refreshing your memory, or sharing with colleagues new to statistical and epidemiological methods.
