 retation and Applied Examples
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Centre for Epidemiology and Evidence-Based Practice (CEBP
 )\, Faculty of Medicine\, Universiti Malaya\, will be organising the fourt
 h session of the CEBP Workshop series titled “Effect Modification: Inter
 action\, Interpretation and Applied Examples.”\n\n\n\nThis session will 
 explore the concept of effect modification and interaction in epidemiologi
 cal research. Participants will learn how to interpret effect modification
  and apply these concepts using practical examples commonly encountered in
  public health and clinical research.\n\n\n\n🗓 Dates: 19 June 2026 (Fri
 day)🕘 Time: 9.00 am – 12.00 pm MYT📍 Venue: SPM Computer Lab\, Facu
