Abstract:
Educational Engagement Modules (EEMs) are teaching materials for educators and students that facilitate a deeper understanding of key epidemiological methods and concepts. Each EEM poses a series of questions using a recently published paper in Annals of Epidemiology to further understanding of a specific study design and to encourage critical thinking and careful evaluation. This EEM focuses on surveillance study designs and references the following article: Labgold K, Cranford HM, Ekpo LL, Mac VV, Roth J Jr, Stout M, Ellis EM. Population-based denominators matter: Bias in U.S. Virgin Islands COVID-19 vaccination coverage under changing population counts [1].

There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
