      2020, Annals of Epidemiology
      Citation Excerpt :

      These study findings require replication with larger samples representing more grade levels, with more course sections and instructors teaching each subject, and within additional settings. Despite Fine et al.’s call seven years ago for obligatory epidemiology instruction in secondary schools to promote wide-scale science literacy [2], limited work has explored the effectiveness of high school epidemiology instruction for this purpose. No prior studies appear to have examined the effectiveness of epidemiology coursework for teaching high school students’ science literacy skills using objective measures; however, prior-related studies have similarly demonstrated that epidemiology may promote secondary students’ science learning.

      Likewise, public health agencies could engage adolescents by offering high school internships and job shadowing. There is, in fact, increasing interest from the field for expanding epidemiology education at the high school level (Stroup and Thacker, 2007; D'Agostino, 2018; Fine et al., 2013; Bracken, 2014). The CDC also has supported high school epidemiology education for two decades (Cordell et al., 2017), and provides a model for public health organization-educator partnerships to inform curriculum and state science learning standards (Cordell et al., 2018).
