CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The General Concepts of Burden of Disease Summer School will ta
ke place from 12–14 August 2026 in Ghent\, Belgium. The course is design
ed to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to burden of
disease (BoD) methodology and the calculation and interpretation of Disabi
lity-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). Through a combination of lectures\, prac
tical exercises\, and interactive discussions\, participants will gain ins
ight into the concepts\, applications\, and policy relevance of burden of
disease assessments.Participants will have the opportunity to explore topi
cs such as:Introduction to burden of disease methodology and population he
alth metrics\;Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs): concepts\, calculati
on\, and interpretation\;Years of Life Lost (YLL) and Years Lived with Dis
ability (YLD)\;Data requirements and methodological considerations in burd
en of disease studies\;Quantifying and comparing the impact of diseases an
d health conditions\;Translating burden of disease evidence into public he
alth policy and decision-making\;Practical exercises applying burden of di
sease methods to real-world scenariosTarget audienceThis summer school is
particularly relevant for public health professionals\, epidemiologists\,
researchers\, risk assessors\, health data scientists\, policy professiona

and evidence-informed public health decision-making. A basic understandin
