# Analysis of mechanisms: Modern mediation analysis for basic, clinical and epidemiological research in diabetes and endocrinology
[](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
## Description
This course on covers the investigation of disease mechanisms through
mediation analysis in the context of diabetes and endocrine diseases.
Our three-day course is a face-to-face workshop that includes a variety
of teaching methods, including lectures, R code-along sessions, and
activities that foster networking between participants such as group
work activities, and student presentations.
This repository contains the lesson, lecture, and assignment material
for the course, including the website source files and other associated
course administration files.
## Lesson content
The teaching material is found mainly in the project folders:
- `preamble/`: Contains the syllabus and pre-course tasks.
- `sessions/`: Contains the teaching material
- `data/`: Contains the example datasets used in the course
The website is generated from [Quarto](https://quarto.org), so follows
the file and folder structure conventions from that package.
